Using Just Carry-On Bag.......SWA out of BUF

[wee-haggis]

I've used SWA before from BUF but this will be the first time we are just taking Carry-On bags (no checked bags).
If I print off our boarding passes 24 hrs in advance, can we proceed directly to the Security Gate (by-pass counter)?

Yep! Just enter the airport and go to Security. Have your boarding pass and passport in hand and off you go! Easy Peasy! Have a great time! S

Wow!! Only carry-ons? I would love to be able to do that but somehow I can't seem to pare my list down enough! How long are you going for?

We are only going for 5 days ( unexpected mini-vac).
We have decided to take no toiletries (which take up some space).We'll buy them upon arriving at Super Walmart. Just clothes.
We did it for our 5 day trip to Vegas and it worked out great

Now I am inspired!! Each trip I try to pack less and less. Next trip I think I will try it!!

I'm planning to do the same thing in October with NW, although I will be bringing my own toiletries, etc - just in travel sizes to fit the 3-1-1 restrictions (3 ozs - 1 quart bag - 1 bag per person). We are also going for only 5 days (4 nights).

It'll save a ton of time in the morning when the flight is leaving at 7.05 AM (yawn!!).

Even if you are checking bags it is very quick in Buffalo.

If you print your Boarding Pass 24hr before then you only have to check your bags and you can do that at the curb-side bagage check. Last summer it took us less than 3 min to check 4 bags. DH hadn't even finished tipping the shuttle driver and the vallets had our bags out of the van and onto the converyor belt and were waiting for us to get our bagage claim tickets!!!!

We only take carry-ons....even for long trips. S
