4. Do I qualify for pre-boarding?

a. (WN LUVS U) You qualify for pre-boarding if you require physical assistance from a WN employee or have a qualified disability. Examples of qualified disabilities include, but are not limited to, Customers who require the use of a wheelchair, mobility device, cane, walker, etc.

b. (dhuey) You also qualify if your party includes at least one child under 5 years old.

c. (nsx) This is a significant and new (as of October 2004) tightening of policy in response to abuse of pre-boarding by people simply seeking a more desirable seat than they could get with their "C" boarding passes.

d. (SWAInflt) Effective August 1, 2005 no Customer who accepts preboarding will be permitted to sit in the Emergency Exit Row. When the first "Non-Preboard" passenger is boarded...the ops agent will scan their boarding card and then return it with the instruction to give it to the "A" Flight Attendant upon boarding. This will signal the F/A that general boarding has begun and passengers may choose exit row seats. Board the flight before that boarding pass comes down and you will not be permitted to sit in the exit row.
