How do you get sequence 1?

[opusman]

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.

 

[opusman]

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

 

[Seat0B]

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.

I've had sequence 1 a few times - I try to get it as a bit of a laugh with MrsFletty.

This is one of my favourite boarding passes - so many 1s! (just missing Platinum 1)

 

[elanshin]

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

And 1A.

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.

 

[lovestotravel]

1A is better than SEQ 1

There's no alternative is there?

 

[SYD]

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!

 

[SYD]

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.

 

[1A Please]

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
