Enter inside to be inspected by walking until it is clear to get all your belongings after being scanned.

The assistance will bring you to your gate number and you'll begin to line up once it is time to board the plane.

Another assistance will be assigned to bring you inside the aircraft Southwest Airlines has no assigned seating where they call it "Open Seat" meaning you have an option where you would want to seat down.

Example:

Using assistance most likely you're the first ones to pick the seat in the airplane. The stewardess will explain where you can place your carryon on the overhead bins allowing based on size.

Just in case you want to be seated on the front row seat you will need to put your personal bags inside the overhead bins at all times.

The remaining seats from row two till the end of the plane are allowed to place their personal bags under their legs.

The stewardess will ask what beverage you would like to drink by choosing complimentary in the menu.

Those who prefer to drink alcohol there are additional charge under your own expenses paying upon the end of your plane ride.

Carmina asked for ginger ale as her beverage during her flight.

There are snacks given free to eat on the plane.

Fill up State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture before leaving the aircraft where the stewardess will get from you helping you out how to fill up the form.

Once you have arrived in Hawaii those who had requested for wheelchair assistance there will be a new person to let you ride on and bring you to the carousel where you'll be getting your luggage's.
