Southwest-operated flights currently have open seating. The OSSD Board meets at various schools within the district on the second Wednesday of each month.All meetings start at pm unless otherwise noted. The gate attendant allowed a bum rush of people to not only pre-board, but board between A and B groups boarding during family boarding. Inflight entertainment is free when you fly with Southwest! Connect to the portal through WiFi to access free movies and free live TV. We investigate the Southwest Airlines boarding process and cover the multiple free and paid ways to board Southwest early. Southwest offers Family Boarding right after the "A" group and right before the "B" group has boarded. We board in groups A, B, and C, and line up in numerical order. When it's time to board the plane, the gate agent will first call the A group to get in position.
