How do you get sequence 1?

Tongue-in-cheek but still. I check in literally the second the flight opens, and the lowest sequence # I've ever got is around 12 or so.

Had it many times. The trick is a flight that is unlikely to have any connecting pax IME.
 
Same as others, I usually get Seq #1 and #2 for me and Mr Seat 0A when checking in for connections that are not yet down to T-24. I've had it for both domestic and international. Not every time, but quite a few.
 
Definitely had seq 1 before. Youre a bit of a cheat when you check in 48h+ before the flight due to all the connections and the flight time itself

Check in before any others on a flight.

Had it on 3 of 4 boarding passes this week.

I checked in at T-24 for the first segment of BNE-xAKL-xSYD-xSIN-xKUL.

Seq. No's were 13, 1, 1 & 1 respectively.

It was effectively T-51 for the KUL segmemt.
 
It used to be a lot more common when OLCI was a novelty and it was less important to checkin early to get a seat!
 
Just checked in for tomorrow’s flight and scored a “Seq 1”. Bingo!

I wasn’t even conscious that OLCI was about to open but the QF app popped up to let me know while I was about to do something else on my phone.

holy cough - i have flown for 30+ years - hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of flights and i never ever wondered what that Seq number on the boarding pass meant. This made me Google it and now I know :)
