Southwest API change - I have an actual reservation you can use to test

[schmeed]

Alex, I have an active reservation with a flight this Saturday (check-in tomorrow, Friday, morning) if you want to use them to test. Please let me know.

Let me know and let's connect.

i appreciate the offer!

unfortunately, i'm neck deep in buying a house/moving so haven't been able to look deeper into a fix.

i've been following a thread though where people have shared thoughts about a fix. my hope is someone identifies a fix soon which would i could then easily mirror as opposed to having to troubleshoot myself. realistically, i just don't have the margin for that right now.

Understood completely. Mind sharing the link(s) to those threads? I'd like to see if I can review/help.

I just had a failed checkin too, but something odd happened, I think. I didn't note for about 15 minutes, and I went to do a manual checkin for my son and I. We got A16 and a17. It made me wonder if the checkin was actually successful, but it the program was unable to detect that. I can't really believe we got 16 and 17 15 minutes after checkin opened.

I just had a failed checkin and hoped it was just me, but came here to check. Dammit!

Here is an app I used to use, but it always seemed to have scheduling/timing issues. It wouldn't fire when it was supposed to (for me). It works well for others. They seem close to resolving this issue:

making progress on this! will hopefully have a working solution sometime this weekend.

if you're curious about the process, see the thread i linked to above. i've posted a few comments there with what i've been working on.

Happy to report this is working now!

Tested on a flight leaving tomorrow and everything worked like a charm. I was in the middle of church and the check-in happened automatically.

Check out the README for new steps you’ll have to take. And make sure you also upgrade the gem according to the instructions as well.

Let me know if you run into issues.

Awesome! I have a flight coming up on 1/3 so I'll get this setup and be ready. Thank you @byalextran!!!
