My question...is there much benefit in checking in on-line? Is the baggage drop-off option better than full check-in? Tempted to try it, but nervous as well...doesn't the bag drop desk close before the normal check-in desk option?
There is great benefit in checking in on line.
Online Checkin opens at least a couple of hours before Twilight checkin, giving you access to the majority of seats before the twilight gang.
Bag drop is open for the same amount of time as the normal check in desks.
Are you a Fc Silver or Gold member? if so you can bag drop at the premium desks. Don't forget you can if economy and no FC or red card holder, bag drop at the standard desks as well.
Also, you can check in on line then drop your bags off the night before at twilight checkin
