By chance have they expanded the Resort Airline Check-in with Southwest to include WDW properties other than POP? Note that I'm specifically looking for the Resort Airline Check-In Service - not ME service . . .

Thanks! :mickey:

Not that I've heard.

Is Pop Century still doing the airline check-in? I wasn't sure if it was a pilot program or if it was there indefinitely.
Thanks

Pop is definitely doing the program and I understand, though I have not 100% confirmed, that the All-Stars are now participating as well.

Yes, Southwest is a participating airline at all of the All Star Resorts now. I think it started back in October for them.

We'll be at POFQ in May. Is SW doing check in there?

Right now it's only at the values. Hopefully it will expand at some point.

It's great that they are starting to expand. Another reason to fly SW.

Good to know we might start flying southwest the ability to check luggage in at the hotel is huge for us our next trip will have 4 kids 5 and under they aren't much help with the luggage.

We decided to go ahead & book AA for our return trip today, as I'm not confident they'll expand the Resort Airline Check-In service to the remainder of the resorts in the next few months with SW. At this point it's a trade-off since SW flights are the same price as AA for our return trip . . . we'd pay $30 for the Early Bird Check-In on Southwest with an earlier flight, or we'd pay $40 for two checked bags on AA with assigned seats after 8 pm. Pretty much a wash, but the Resort Airline Check-In service is just too valuable for us for a $10 difference . . .

Thanks to everyone for your responses!
