Yes! Group Passengers can check in on Southwest.com® beginning 24 hours prior to the flight’s original scheduled departure.
Note: The deadline for domestic check-in is 30 minutes before your flight’s original scheduled departure time, and the deadline for international check-in is 60 minutes (or 75 minutes for Aruba). If you attempt to check in after these cut-off times (such as 25 minutes before your flight’s original scheduled departure time), then you will need to be rebooked on the next available flight. Additionally, all Passengers must obtain their boarding passes and be in the gate area available for boarding at least 10 minutes prior to your flight's scheduled departure time. If not, we may cancel your reservation.
