i always get section C while boarding a plane, how can i get to be in A to board first?

Question

I always thought that people flying with a companion get the A section, but recently i purchased tickets for 3 and still we got section C

does anyone know what the deal is?

Answer 1

Check in online 24 hours before your flight. We just did that on sunday and we got section A.

Answer 2

When you buy your ticket ask for section A if they refuse to give you a seat keep calling the airlines and asking them for the seats you want.

I always call and book our seats by phone before the flight. Usually I start trying 10 days prior to the flight.

If you get to the airport ask to have you seats changed

I don't know the type of place but now they save the bulkhead seats for handicapped people and people with medical problems

Find out the type of plane you will be flying on and go on line and fine the plane seating chart and choose what you like then ask for it.

Answer 3

You must be talking about Southwest. Generally, to get an A boarding card, you have to check-in on line the night before. Only on the very lightest of flights will they still have As or Bs left at the airport. It is strictly by order of check in. The first 45 get A, the next 45 get B and the last 47 get C. Easy as pie.

Answer 4

it doesnt matter how many tickets you get.. it just matters when you check into your flight.. you can check into your flight 24 hours before boarding time. Normally, like on southwest (im not sure what other airlines do this), you are able to check in online and print your boarding pass out. Even if you do not have a printer, all you need is the internet, your name and confirmation number, and you check in. It;ll then show your boarding pass with what section you have, which will most likely be boarding group A. If you do not want to print your boarding pass you dont have to, but when you get to the airport just go to the check in counter and inform them that you have already checked in but you lost your boarding pass (or just simply need one). They will print you out another boarding pass with the same boarding group that would have been on the one you printed out.

Answer 5

It really depends on the airline. One thing that helps get priority boarding status is to purchase your ticket from the airline itself and not from a reseller like Hotwire or Priceline. I know with USAir, America West and Delta, on flights that do zoned boarding, if you purchase from Priceline (or similar) you are automatically in Zone 5 or 6, even if there's only one other person on the plane.

Could you post the airline?

Answer 6

Many airlines like to board the rear of the plane first. That prevents people in the front of the plane from blocking the rear and middle sections' passengers while they put their luggage away and settle in.

So, by asking for seats in the rear of the plane, you will be able to board first. Of course, needless to say, you'll be deplaning last.

Answer 7

With Southwest Airlines you can go online i believe up to 24 hours in advance and print your boarding pass. Thats how I did it.

Answer 8

for 1 thing u need to be able to afford section A u know what im sayin? then u have to knowto get your ticket for an airplane a month before u depart

Answer 9

request it, but when we flew they boarded those with disabilities first, the elderly, and families with children first.

it's the discretion of the crew who they want to board first. you were just unlucky those times before.

Answer 10

Pre-book your seat, be the first to check in, or get an upgrade
