Tickets purchased for another person

I purchased a ticket for my mother who lives in another state so I will be checking in for her at the appropriate time.  How do I get the boarding pass to her?

Anyone with the confirmation number can check her in -- if she has a computer or a smartphone she can do it. If you do, you can email her a pdf of the boarding pass, or if it's easier she can just print one at the airport kiosk -- her boarding position will already be reserved from when you checked her in.

 

One thing: If you haven't purchased EarlyBird Check-In, be sure to check her in as close as you can to exactly 24 hours prior to departure -- and if she's flying out of another time zone, be sure to adjust.
