Anyplace to check-in for Southwest at Universal Studios or IOA?

[ShelsGoingToDisney]

We will need to check in for our SW flight at 2:20 in the afternoon. We will be in Universal Studios that day. Is there anywhere you can go where they will check you in like guest services? I know guest services will do it for you at the Disney parks, is Universal the same?

We do have an ipad with the SW app but we'd need the wifi to access it and from my searches I have not found where there is any wifi access inside the parks.

I suppose last resort is to head back to the RPR where we are staying and have them do it or use the wifi but I'd rather not waste valuable park time. And yes I know I can pay for the early bird check-in for SW but that's $50 I'd rather spend at Universal!

Thanks!!

Can you use your cell phone? That's what I've done.

Otherwise, go to your concierge at the resort and ask them. I've had them check me in at the Dolphin before IIRC. I just gave them a tip.

Or have someone back home do it for you?

Somebody just asked this question on another board - or I'm losing it. Or both.

Use Early Bird Check In. You register/pay now or any time at least a couple of days before your flight departs, and Southwest will check you in automatically - before anybody else checks in for that same flight.

I can't imagine leaving the park to go check-in is worth less than $50. I would pay for the early bird check in. You won't have to worry about remembering to check in exactly at 2:20. What if you are in line for a ride, or whatever. I think the peace-of-mind is worth $50, then you can enjoy your day.

We do this too unless the 4 of us are on separate reservations which happens sometimes with rapid rewards.

Yep, I opened this thread and thought: "hey, why was my post removed?"

Then I realized I answered on a different board.

I won't repeat here since I assume the OP is checking both threads... but it has to do with friends at home.

I usually call a family member or friend or coworker back home and ask them to do it for me andthen I just print it at the airport, unless I am with the kids, then i buy EBCI when I buy the ticket.

Last time I bought EBCI on the same time i bought the ticket I had A15-17. There was no one A1-15 (Business class) so I was first on after medical pre-boards
