Agreed! @chgoflyer wrote: My assumption would be that the priority given to EBCI boarding position would be the same as it is whenever any flight change is made (regardless of who made it -- Southwest or the passenger). EBCI positions are initially assigned based on the time stamp of EBCI purchase. However, if you change your itinerary to a different flight, the "time stamp" becomes the time that you made the change to the new flight. (Essentially, when you "bought" that new flight, not when you bought the first one associated with those funds.) I don't think I had ever seen this written although it makes sense to me. I've only ever seen in writing "time of purchase" which didn't include a footnote about flight changes. This is how I think it would actually work though. I don't think it's ever been publicly acknowledged by Southwest. But from discussion elsewhere along with my personal experience I believe that is how it works. Example: I had an itinerary with EBCI attached that I changed multiple times over several months, finally booking the flight that was ultimately taken, and at that time also booking a friend on the same flight, also with EBCI. Despite my EBCI being purchased months in advance, our positions were sequential.
