Airport Check-in Options

[tommyalf]

Greetings:

With all of today's technology and choices when it comes to checking in for your flight, how do you generally check in?

1. The traditional way of standing in line at the ticket counter.
2. Using automated ticketing machines.
3. Over the phone check in.
4. Internet check-in.

I personally still like to wait in line with everybody else to check in. Being an aviation buff I think it's part of the experience of flying, plus I like the people watching aspect. I've only used an automated machine once because AA was giving you bonus miles the first time you used it. Otherwise I get to the airport early and check-in with a real live person.

I always go to the counter because when my company books flights for me, I always end up in the middle seat so I want to be able to change my seat and also I want somebody behind the counter to help me do that. Talking with someone while checking in is also nice.

I always use the kiosks as the are:
1. Fast
2. Easy
3. Conveinent
4. And the best part is you can get ahead of everybody who wants to check in with a real person. :P
