I am sure they will figure out how to charge the $100 and turn the kiosk into a profit center. If you check-in way early, be prepared for pop-up ads. Various messages will be roated:- We know how hard you work. We know you are lucky that your meeting ended early, and that you deserve to see your kids tonight. Click here if you want to get home before they go to bed
- The Admirals Club is full. Do you really want to sit in the terminal? Click here to get on an earlier flight.
- WARNING -- wasting time at the airport is not good for your career. Click here to get on an earlier flight.
- Ever wanted to see your neighbor doing $#$? Click here to get an X-10 camera! [why not sell ads on the kiosks as well?]
Of course, there will be a disclosure statement in 5 point type associated with each pop-up ad. It will read: click here for terms and conditions. Once you click there, the full fare rules will be displayed -- and we all know how fun are those to read!!

Cute. Today was the first time I actually got the thing to work with an upgrade, and got my 500 1st time bonus miles too!
This after 70k since April....a long run for a short slide.
