Thanks rove123. That's was my understanging of EBCI after reading through the forum here.

For those who have done an OLCI for a multi-passenger PNR recently. How does it work? Is it enough to go to the OLCI page, plug in the first/last name & confirmation number and click "Check in"?One passenger's info does it for all in the PNR?

The reason I am asking is that I won't be available at t-24 and would like to either have a non-WN-cognizant friend do it or "tell" my computer to do it for me automatically. But being a first-time WN flyer means I cannot account for any further information or clicks required by the system.

Yes, I know about EBCI and will probably do that for a longer transcon leg until I make sure friend/computer options are full-proof

The T-24 "WN race" is a concept your are all too familiar with, but it's still mysterious for a WN newbie like me...
