Requirements for Online Checkin

To proceed through Security Checkpoint, you will need a government-issued photo ID and either a Boarding Pass or Security Document. Customers under 18 years of age are not required to show government-issued photo ID.

To use Online Checkin @ southwest.com and print your Boarding Pass, you must:

  • Be age verified if traveling on Senior, Youth or Child, or Infant* fares.
  • Check in beginning 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure
  • Check in at least one hour prior to your scheduled departure
  • Have a Ticketless reservation
  • Be checking in for flights that have not already departed
  • Have purchased an eligible fare type (Customers holding reservations for group or military fares, and those requiring an additional seat must proceed to the airport for checkin)

*This only applies to infants traveling on an Infant fare. If you are traveling with an unticketed child younger than two years old, you must provide proof of age and receive a Boarding Verification Document at the ticket counter prior to proceeding to Security Checkpoint.

If your reservation does not qualify for Online Checkin, you may still be able to print a Security Document.
