am I on the right track with checkin

[Dznypal]

since Im so bad at computers I need everything spelled out for me--from what Ive been reading on this thread about the check in looks like I start off
taking the passport and head shots with my phone
which then goes into my icloud account-which then I transfer to my flashdrive
is this right so far
then when I go to check in at some point in the check in process they tell me to upload ( is that even the right phrase) to the website
I sell on ebay and this is how I get the pics I take of the items I see to go from my icloud to the ebay website

also could someone tell me what the checkin all entails I remember it was real easy back in the day
thanks2 weeks till checkin

If you use an iPhone - photos going into your photos on your phone, you might just be adding steps by putting it on a flash drive.

Maybe Android products are similar?

I use an iPad (easier to see a bigger page). But photos in iCloud show up on both, so my phone photos are available. Having all the photos in an Album definitely beats scrolling to find them in the big collection.

The app and the website are very similar. Steps are the same; layout on the screen may differ.

Nice to hear the confidence!

Is it an option to get an arrival time at 33 days out (Gold) and then do the photos and passport check at the port (NYC)??Or Must it be done online?? Thanks

You can’t get a PAT until you go through the documentation bit. Depending on your itinerary, you may be able to upload birth certificates instead of passport, but I’m not sure that saves anything time-wise.

If there a problem with the documents, it can be resolved on-site at the port.
