Hello!

I have a Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Visa. I booked a basic fare and then upgraded to Extra Legroom at 48 hours prior to check in. I chose seat 4F (Window). I was upgraded correctly at no charge.

I am aware that my credit card gives me automatic Boarding Group 5. But once I upgrade, shouldn't my boarding group change to 1 or 2 due to the Extra Legroom designation and also due to WILMA boarding? My boarding pass still indicates I'm in boarding group 5. Normally I wouldn't care, but I'm flying with fresh caught (yesterday) frozen salmon...packed appropriately... and it needs to be with me. It can't be checked if the bins are full.

TYIA for any perspective on this!
