My warning is that basically some of the agents checking you in have no idea what they are doing. My experience at POP this morning:
I give the agent my itinerary and she tells me that she can't check me in because my flight with Delta is run by Atlantic Southwest. I say that is just my connection, my first leg is with Delta (I did not say "Can you read?" but I was thinking that). Oh! I'll try to see if it will work. She gets me and my luggage checked in and then tells me that I will have to pick up my luggage and check in again in Atlanta. What??? I tell her if that's the case I don't want to do it; I have a short layover and won't have time. She asks what my final destination is. At this point I can see the luggage tags with my airport code on them. And guess what? She also has both of my boarding passes! Is this your job? If so, how can you not know what is going on??
I was so polite through the whole thing, and she still didn't send my luggage to the airport. I will have it delivered tonight, it wasn't on my flight out of Orlando with me and will be sent on the next flight in from Atlanta tonight.
The idea is great, I loved arriving at the aiport and going straight to security. Obviously there are some serious kinks that need to be worked out.
