Curb side check in

[nealymouse]

I have flown alot but have never ever used Curb side check in and was wondering if someone could explaine it to me ? I will be traveling to Orlando International (MCO right ?) with 4 children 12,8,7, and 6 and am thinking this might be a good thing for us ??

Thank you

It is a very easy process. You unload the bags at the curb, get a skycaps attention, he/she comes to where you are, takes your tickets, checks your ids and you give the skycap a tip (approx. 1-2 per bag), they check you in, take your bags and you are done.
Frankly, it is the only way to go for me.

things may of changed again, but i was under the impression that this had been stopped after Sept 11th? Anyone?

Most airports have resumed the use of skycaps (Curb side check-in) and MCO is one of them. Not all airlines are utilizing skycaps again but the Orlando airport site has a list of what specific airlines have the skycaps working there.

I agree with Gail, it's a great service to use!

Hope this helps.

Delta had curbside checkin out of Providence and out of Orlando. Im planning on using it in 8 days.

We used curbside check in and it is the only way to go.

They tell you to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight, well with curbside it gives you a little more time. When we used it both times going down and coming back we had all of the 2 hours to hang around, on the way home we had a flight around dinner time at Orlando and found a nice pub style restaurant and had dinner before the flight.


Anyways I highly recommend it.

After 9/11; can you do curbside check-in with E-tickets???

 

[GAIL HAYDEN]

Yes, you can do eticket curbside check in. Just have your printout of your eticket and your ID ready. I did this with AA in October.

I used curbside check-in with e-tickets (Southwest) in October at MCO. Did not allow in Manchester, NH.

TF Green/Providence flying Delta had curbside checkin in October. Not sure where youre flying out of.

We are flying out of Boston's Logan.

I would call the airline directly and ask if curb side is available at Logan. Each airline has a list of what airports do this. SWA puts theirs on the web.

Recently, I called Delta to findout if they had reinstated curb side check-in at DFW. I was told that it had, but to call the day before to make sure that E-Tickects could still be checked in there.
