- Physical Description
- Southwest Airlines pink plastic boarding pass with "Fourth Boarding Group" and number 101 printed in black on both sides.
- Summary
- Boarding Passes
- One way Southwest cut costs was by issuing reusable plastic boarding passes and eliminating assigned seating. The passes were sequentially numbered and color-coded for each flight. Passengers boarded in groups in the order in which they checked in. This encouraged early arrivals and speeded up seating, thus allowing Southwest to return an aircraft to service quickly.
