Why stand in that que for twenty five mins then, you can be checked in at any desk regardless of what ticket you hold. If there is no queue at the economy desk, the check in staff will call you over.
Also if you were only travelling for the day, I assume you would only have hand luggage, you can check in at the gate. I find that there are usually no cues there.
