One of the most anxiety-inducing moments you’ll hear a Southwest customer talk about is the process of checking in as close to 24 hours before a flight, hoping to see a boarding priority number prefaced with an A. The lower the number, the sooner you get to board the plane and pick a seat of your choosing.

A new service, originally covered by Lifehacker, will automatically check you in at exactly the right time, ensuring that you are on the elusive A-list. The name of the service: Southwest A-List, of course.

Here’s how it works:

After booking your flight with Southwest, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail containing an itinerary number.

Forward this e-mail to sw@to.andyjiang.com.

Your e-mail will be scanned, the important information will be pulled out and the server will set a time to check you into your flight. You’ll also receive a confirmation e-mail from the service outlining all of your information and giving you the time the service will check you in.
