NWA Check-In Question

[KLAIT]

This is probably a very stupid question, but here goes.

We have a Northwest flight out of Orlando. How does the checking in on-line thing work. I do understand that you print your tickets, but what do you dowith your luggage? Don't you have to wait in line anyway>?

We had to wait in line anyway-thought it was kind of ridiculous at the time too.
Here's what they say on their site "Customers that have checked in on nwa.com can now quickly check their luggage at select airports using an nwa.com Luggage Check Kiosk.

* Simply scan your nwa.com Boarding Pass barcode to retrieve your flight reservations.
* Enter the amount of luggage you would like to check.
* Luggage tags will be printed and attached by a Northwest agent who will check your luggage to your final destination. "

I've used that at MSP, it is quicker than the regular check-in line. I have also used curbside check, it's worth a couple bucks for the tip.

It varies by the time of day. We have used it for years now and there is little to no wait. The longest so far for us was 20 minutes. I think MCO was actually quicker then MSP to use.

Not to sound stupid, but all if we print out ourboarding passes at the hotel, there is a line just for baggage check? Is it easy to find at MCO? I hope so as our flight is so darn early it would be nice to shave a few minutes off the time waiting...

It says NWA.COM check in above it. Right over by 1st class check in. Just look for the computer/kiosk pointing out toward you.
