Was the line you were waiting in to check your bag? I always check in ahead of time, and my boarding pass is already on my phone when I arrive to the airport. The later you wait to check in, the later your boarding position will be. I assume you actually checked in 24 hours ahead, and not a few hours before your flight, and were waiting in line to check a bag. If this is the case, whenever I need to check a bag I use the Curbside Check-in service instead of the "regular" check-in inside, as the inside line is almost always longer than Curbside. It's never been more than 3-4 people in my experience, and most of the time there is no one using Curbside at all, so it's pretty convenient. I don't trust myself to check and tag my own bag 😄 so I've never done the self-check-in yet. This year I've also become really good at packing light so I don't even have to check a bag. I can make a tiny "overnight" bag last a whole weekend, and it fits underneath the seat, so for the last few trips I don't even need to go to check-in at all, I just go right to TSA and go through security. --Jessica
