Other types of check-in
What other types of check-in are available at the airport?
Curbside check-in is that little desk right on the sidewalk where the skycap is there ready to check you in, take your baggage, and give you your boarding pass. Sometimes, the line is a little shorter than inside at the baggage check-in desk, but it comes with a price. You're required to at least tip the skycap or sometimes there's a mandatory fee of two dollars per bag right there on a sign as you check in at the line. A self-service check-in is a know it all computer that knows who you are as soon as you put in your ID or your credit card. What you do is you verify who you are, and that you're on the next flight and what seat you want, and then it prints out your boarding pass for you, right then and there; nobody needs to help you.
What happens if the airline loses my luggage?
If you can't find your bag once you get off the plane, know that you are not alone. This happens to a lot of passengers. What you do is go directly to the airline desk and start filling out the paperwork, letting them know that your baggage has been lost. Sometimes it's just on the flight behind you and they will deliver it to you later. Otherwise, you might have to file a claim and wait for reimbursement from the airline.
