(WHDH) — Southwest Airlines is raising the price for its early bird check-in on some flights.

It will go from a flat $15 per person each way to $15, $20 or $25 depending on the length of the flight and the popularity of early bird check-in on the route.

Earlybird gives travelers a better boarding position in Southwest’s open seating system.

Its early bird service started in 2009 and cost $10 dollars.

The switch to variable pricing will begin Aug. 29.
