There is carry on. The seating system is slightly different now. - Inigo Jan 13, 10:41 2

- thanks all. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 10:41
it's cattle call, but the line is sort of organized. CHECK IN ONLINE. - loosilu on her netbook Jan 13, 10:38 9
- i assume it's the standard 24 hour pre-flight time frame to check in? -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 10:39 8
  - Yup, you can also pay a bit more to make sure you get A-listing, if you want. I prefer C. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 10:43
  - yes, and there's a checkin stampede right at the beginning. I don't remember the last time I got group A. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Jan 13, 10:41 6
    - group A = you get to sit up front with the screaming brats who already pre-boarded -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 10:42 5

        I just sent her back there. I figure Steven Tyler can raise my kid just as good as me. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 10:52
      - knucklehead ... you sit where you want. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Jan 13, 10:44 1
        
        the value of getting Group A is to be as close to the front as possible when your flight lands -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 10:48
BAGS FLY FREE! :) -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 10:37
