US Air-Philly have paper tickets can't do online check in..how long?

[barbnjmom]

Just found out that since I have paper tickets (bought with overall disney package) I can't do the online boarding passes and check in!!!

Leaving Sat. 8/21 from Philly on US Air..flight is at 7:55am and have seats confirmed...what time should I arrive at airport...we usually fly out of Newark but got such a great rate from Philly..this is my first time flying out of Philly.

We are staying at the Sherton Suites the night before for the Park and Fly package and they have 24 hour shuttle service...

any thoughts on time to arrive for check in?

thanks

I would check the airport website to see what time the ticket counter opens. Plan to be in the airport at that time. Some of the security lines can be long in Phila.

My advice is 2 hrs has always worked for me and we fly from philly alot...

I would try to do curbside check-in, the lines are usually less. Tip the skycap $1 or $2 per bag.
