[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks extra time for international flights is sort of a crock [/quote] Departing from IAD, it makes sense if you're fllying a foreign airline. For example, ANA and SAS each operate one flight per day. They use outsourced ground staff. Those staff first man the check-in desks, then at a certain time before departure, they shut the check-in desk and head to the gate and do their tasks there. So if you miss the check-in window, tough luck. Different story if you're flying United, since their check-in desks are open all the time due to so many flights, and they don't use the same staff for check-in as gate agents.[/quote] But the gate agents aren't leaving more than an hour before the flight starts boarding [/quote]
