Southwest A-List

SW just mailed me an A-List card. Didn't realize I made it, but I really have been flying alot. lol

So if any of you got an A-List card, can you tell what the REAL perks are?

Can I skip the nudie-scan? Or does it move me to the front of the nudie-scan line? grrrrrrrrr

Can I get ANY boarding pass #, but get to board early with business?

Just trying to figure out the rules..........uh, perks. Thanks!

CLV, three of the bennies I found:

1. Guaranteed A boarding pass. I never been worse than 24 without the need to be on the computer at exactly 24 hours before scheduled departure time.

2. In select airports (LAS is one), there is a priority line at security. Pretty useful when the regular line starts to resemble Disney World.

3. 25% mileage (points) earning rate bonus.

Thanks Dan, I've seen that (shorter) Sec. line at C gates, but TSA isnt any friendlier
there, than the regular long line. I'll take it though........

So you still need to checkin 24 hours ahead? How does that work?
They automatically save an A for you?

Thanks for your input.

TSA doesn't have anything to do with Southwest typical federal employee doing things as poorly as possible.

I Wish SW ran Security instead of TSA.........especially at McCarran.
SW employees much nicer.

FYI- you Can OPT OUT.

I've Opt'd out the past 4 times they've pointed me to the Nudie-scanner.
I highly recommend it.
Just know you CAN---------- OPT OUT.

Back to A- List, any other perks? Thanks!

A List puts you in the first 15 (but never seen more than 5 in that group). You don't have to worry about checking in 24 hrs prior.

You mean I can Forget to check in 24 hrs ahead, and not have to worry about it? I likey.

A list...oh yeah!!!!!!

Woo hooooo!!!!!

First on the plane...pick your seat. Yea!

If we could only pick those who sit next to us.
Bathers and non cologne wearers.

Nudie scanner last time, my first time...not much to tell about, very fast.
Luckily they were yelling "no kleenex, no this, no that..."
I had a kleenex in my pocket. Got rid of it just in time.

Geez...can't believe a kleenex would get you a pat down.

Nudie Scanner?!? Hadn't heard that name.
But Hubby and I LOVE it! It is soooo much faster!
Thank heavens they've come up with it.
Lucky you for getting to go in that line.

Nudie-scanner faster than walking thru metal detector?

Don't think so.......
And you don't have Barney Fife checking you out either.

Opt out.
A-List or no. I say "OPT OUT"
