Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire American Airlines sucks balls

What is "RIR"? Disregard, figured it out.

So your saying the airport didn't open until 1.5 hours before your flight was scheduled to leave at 5am, but when you got there there at 3:35am there was already a huge line? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I'm in no way defending American Airlines, but every carrier I've flown with in the past 20+ years says to be there a minimum of two hours before your flight time. Makes no sense that an airport would be closed until 1.5 hours before a flight leaves. Security screening sometimes opens later but the ticket counter and baggage check have always been open in plenty of time.

We usually check in online prior and only have to drop bags. No need for a paper boarding pass. At SLC International you can drop bags curbside and never even have to go to the airline counter, just straight to security (Delta).

Sounds like piss poor planning to me.
