Hello! We are flying out of Orlando tomorrow and are not checking luggage to save time...but I just got an email saying to checkin at ticket counter.  Can we check in with the agents at the gate? We have nonstop flight to Jamaica. Thank you!

Hola! By rule, the passport books of your party must be verified by a Customer Service Agent or scanned at an automated kiosk at the landside check-in ticket counter on the day of travel before a physical or digital boarding pass is issued.

Jamaica also requires completion of a predeparture entry form. Not sure if this needs to be verified at the Check-In Counter also prior to the issuance boarding passes.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! So we can't do this at the gate before boarding and skip the line before tsa?
