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.

I've had Sequence 1 before, usually on the final domestic leg when checking in on a string of international flights back home. In that scenario I'm being checked in on the domestic flight before it technically opens for normal checkin at T+24.

JFK-LAX-SYD-CBR usually does the trick if there's a 4+ hour connection in LAX.

Ah, because connecting pax have checked in earlier than T-24! Makes sense.
