I did via American Airlines app, but the app doesn't allow you to check bags before flight, afaik. Have to do that at the kiosk.
All the stoners were out for a flight that day apparently.
American Airlines and many airports have a 40 minute prior policy. It's in the fine print of the ticket.
I've seen this process at security before. No idea why they do it sometimes, but it happens.
Yes the agent said this policy was changed in October this year. Then I talked with another gate agent in Boston and she said that I'd have no problem getting on the plane 20 minutes before boarding. Typical airline travel. Rules made up.
Logan doesn't have that rule, but American may still. Their rule is that you must check in 40 minutes before a flight and if you have to check a bag they need that 40 minutes before the flight. The gate agents don't care when you board as long as the doors aren't closed, so no, you wouldn't have an issue getting on the plane for the gate agent's perspective.
Exactly. But when discussing it earlier, I didn't know what airline he was on. Like Southwest does not give a fuck (officially it is 45 minutes, but they've never said anything), so as long as you are at an airport that doesn't give a fuck, you can show up whenever before the doors close. American is more picky. United and Delta are typically 30 minutes. Interestingly, they also all have rules about how early you can check bags. It ranges from 3-6 hours prior depending on airline.
Yeah, I remember the first time I saw the dog (before we had precheck). I was like, holy shit this is awesome.
