Beyond Dawlish

Southwest Airlines has four different boarding groups: A, B, C, and pre-boarding, and the airline assigns boarding groups and positions (1–60) based on check-in time, fare type, and elite status. Passengers who check in earliest get better positions. Moreover, the passengers of Group A can board the flight first, followed by Group B and then Group C. Further, the passengers who came under the pre-boarding category can board the flight before all three groups.
