Never used the "Wanna Get Away" feature. Are there any restrictions on getting the boarding pass 24 hrs. out to get an A Section for seating? My daughter gets air sick occasionally and we need to sit upfront.

my suggestion is to be on the computer EXACTLY 24 hours before the time of the flight to get the A section boarding pass. this has ALWAYS worked for me.

I realize that but my problem is that using the priceing for "Wanna Get Away" which states web only does that have any restrictions on checking in 24 hours exactly before the flight. In other words, can I still get an A section checking in 24 hours in advance using the "Wanna Get Away" price?

The price of your ticket has no affect on checking in 24 hours in advance.

Correct, but if you want to guarantee an "A" you have to pay full freight with business select. A lot more if get-away fares are available.

And that's only the first 15 slots. I've found that if I'm flying alone, or even with the family, anywhere in the "A" group works. Even the "B" group isn't bad.

I've never, ever had a problem with getting "A" seating, as long as you check-in online exactly 24 hrs in advance. Just be ready to hit the button quickly.

Fortunately, I'm not prone to motion sickness, but how does the seat location reduce air sickness?
