So I went to check in for our flight tomorrow morning. Was able to check wife in fine. Assigned her boarding group and seat. Says it can't check me in. Try again later. I called Southwest and was told that I will need to check in, in person at the airport. I asked why and was told it happens sometimes. No other explanation. I asked about at least sitting with my wife since, we could get checked in at the same time. Was told that is never guaranteed anyway in the low level fare now. Seriously WTF?
