Nice site. Thanks.

 

I just gotta wonder where the money being charged for curbside check in is going.

 

Whats the difference between curbside check in and walking indoors to check in?

 

 

I still can't figure out how someone can ask himself a question by saying "you" instead of "I". (If anyone knows the answer let me know)

The money is going to the airlines for curb side check-in, not the sky caps. Just another way to make more money.

 

The difference between curbside and and walking inside is usually LINES. One plus is you don't have to haul your luggage in. Some airports are easier than others. I always use curb side.

 

I don't know about other airlines but with Delta, if you check in on line you can now check-in your luggage and you don't have to pay the 3.00 fee. How long this is going to last is unkown.
