I'm a new SW flyer and have purchased EBCI for an upcoming flight. Quick question: Do I still go through the check-in process at some point after the T-24 point or will I automatically be checked in? On the SW site it says it includes automatic check-in but I read another post on here that seemed to imply that you still had to go through the process and that it just wasn't as time critical as it would be if EBCI had not been purchased. Also, assuming I still need to go through the process, does it matter at all at what point I do this prior to the flight? Thanks.

I was trying to book for December also and only very expensive (about $900 RT) seats were open for the approximately 60-90 minute flight from FLL-GCM. I ended up booking on Cayman Air from MIA-GCM over the holidays for about $250 although I would have much preferred flying SW from FLL.

Thanks, ober7212. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who always plans ahead - especially for holiday travel. Guess I'll be trekking down to MIA and back at least one more time ... Hopefully I'll have better luck with other SW flights in the future. (One plus is I'm seeing more competitive pricing for the Cayman Airways flights than I've ever seen in the past. I really can't complain about a sub-$500 total cost for two of us over Christmas and New Year's!)

I'm new here (this is my first post) so I'm still trying to figure my way around. That said, I fly to GCM a lot (pretty much monthly) so I was thrilled when I saw flights starting from FLL in June. I already have two trips booked. When I saw holiday flights opening, I went to book and the pricing on those fllights is exhorbitant (i.e., over $900 vs. flying Cayman Airways from MIA at $234.50 RT for December 22 to January 2). Needless to say, as much as I hate flying out of MIA, I booked the Cayman Air flights. Is this typical? Or do other lower fares usually open up later?
