Is There an Advantage to "Checking-In" Via the Internet if You Still Have Bags to Check? |
Travel Info Airlines give you the chance to "check-in" and get boarding passes for your flight up to 24 hours in advance via the internet. But, is there any advantage to doing so if you still have to stand in line to check bags at the airport????? thanks Travel Tips Depending on the airline, this may also provide you with the opportunity to select a seat, and doing this in advance can be very helpful if you have a strong view about where you might want to sit, or with whom. Others If you check in online - most airports have Kiosks next to the counter - all you have to do is punch in your confirmation code and it will give you the option of checking bags- you punch in the number of bags and an agent that does only kiosk check in calls your name and checks your bags - its a seperate line which is usually a lot faster Yes, several: 1) You can get your seat assignment and guarantee a spot on the plane or move up faster on the waiting list 2) You can request an upgrade more quickly 3) If you get delayed to the airport, or if there is a long line at the ticket counter -- and time is close -- you are already "checked in" and you just need to put a bag through. 4) If you are flying Southwest, you can get in the "Group A" boarding group and get on the plane faster to avoid ending up with a crappy middle seat. |
