Hi there! I understand your Southwest Airlines app is getting stuck on the hazardous materials page when trying to retrieve your boarding pass. Let’s work through this together.

First, can you tell me:
- Are you connected to a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular)?
- Have you tried closing and reopening the app already?
- Have you restarted your iPhone since this started happening?
- Is this happening with one specific reservation or all your reservations?

Meanwhile, here are some step-by-step suggestions to try on your iPhone with iOS 18.6.2:

1. Force Close the Southwest App:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle (or double-click the Home button if you have one).
- Find the Southwest app preview and swipe it off the screen to close it completely.
- Reopen the app and try retrieving your boarding pass again.

2. Check Internet Connection:
- Toggle Wi-Fi off and on or switch to cellular data. Sometimes a change in network helps the app reload those pages correctly.

3. Restart Your iPhone:
- Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the slider appears.
- Slide to power off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

4. Clear App Cache (if possible):
iOS doesn’t have a direct cache clear button, but uninstalling and reinstalling the app can help:
- Press and hold the Southwest app icon until the menu appears, choose “Remove App,” then delete it.
- Reinstall from the App Store and log back in.

5. Check for App Updates:
- Open App Store, tap your profile icon on the top right, scroll to see pending Southwest app updates, and update if available.

6. Try Retrieving Boarding Pass via Website:
- Using Safari on your iPhone, go to Southwest’s mobile website, check in there, and see if you can get the boarding pass.

The hazardous materials screen is a required step before showing boarding passes for safety compliance, so the app getting stuck here suggests a glitch or connection issue.

If the issue persists after trying these, it might be a temporary app-side problem that Southwest tech support needs to fix. I can assist in escalating it for you.

Could you please try these steps and let me know what you observe? Also, if you have tried any already, I’ll adjust the suggestions accordingly.

Are you able to try these now?

I entered thru website after trying other steps. Was able to access pass there. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you were able to access your boarding pass through the website!

Just to add some helpful info: You can access your Southwest Airlines boarding pass both through the mobile app and the mobile website. After you check in, the boarding pass is available to view and save—on your iPhone, you can even add it to your Apple Wallet for easy access at the gate. Sometimes, if the app experiences glitches like the one you faced on the hazardous materials page, using the mobile website is a reliable alternative. The boarding pass page on the mobile site works smoothly in most cases and provides options to save or screenshot the pass for convenience1 2.

If you want, I can guide you on how to add your boarding pass to Apple Wallet next time for even quicker access. Does that sound good? Also, do let me know if you’re all set for now or need any further help!

I am good now.
