So then under this automatic check-in for the return that I seem to have gotten here, would they be checking for visa validity in both directions on the outbound?
I wasn't paying enough attention - I think I just entered passport information into the kiosk on the outbound, without anyone actually checking it. But maybe they did check.
Not quite on topic, but I found this rather funny - I have two passports, and and flew from the US to China on UA a while back. I gave one passport to the check-in agent (because it was my authority to be in the US), but the Chinese visa was in the other passport. I was fully expecting to be asked where my Chinese visa was, but the presence of a years-old used and expired Chinese visa in the passport I gave seemed to be good enough
