Check in at home - before you reach the airport

The advent of being able to check in on-line has saved me hours in the last 6 months.

If you are not aware or are not yet using the web check in service, i urge you to try it.

It is perfect if you have carry-on luggage. If you have check in luggage, you can still check-in on-line but you need to go to "bag drop off" - usually found with check in counters.

Go to the airline that you are flying with and select their "web check-in" facility. Enter either your frequent flyer number or reservation number, select your seat and print off your boarding pass. Most will only let you check in 24 hours of your flights departure.

The only draw backs are if you don't have a printer hooked up to your computer, or if you lose your boarding pass. Always print off your original booking and take with you incase you misplace your boarding pass (now a piece of paper from your printer).
