I'm not elite, sorry I didn't word my OP better.

I already have my seat assignment and I'm not looking to change.

I guess my question is if the line for the bag drop is significantly faster then the line to get a BP and check bags.

I'll take the time to try to get my passport information added and/or go the airport the night before if it's going to save a significant amount of time the next morning. I won't if all I'm doing is reducing a 1 hour wait to a 45 minute wait.
