There are only 2 trips from Tampa to Denver via United today. I work my way through the cattle line and finally get up to the kiosk - (by the way I love the airport kiosk. They are one of life's great conveniences). So I go thru the motions with the kiosk and try to catch the earlier flight. Too late it tells me. Guess I have to settle for the next one. So I continue with the check in (seat 25F bites) and when I go to check my bag for the later flight the guy behind the counter says "you're too early to check your bag." Too early? Who the hell ever heard of getting to the airport too early?
So he tells me I will have to come back later at "time closer to my flight". Even though I had already followed the tediously slow line up to the counter, I would have to go thru that torture one more time - if I had only known about the too early flight rule.
Would it be too much of an inconvenience for United Airlines to take my bag at the time I'm actually checking in? Why is that even an inconvenience? They don't seem to mind me paying for my trip on an earlier day, but can't accept my bag a few hours prior to take-off.
Annoying
