The one time I overslept many years ago, I just dealt with the kiosk when I got to the airport. This was UA, pre-SHARES, but still, it might be easier to start with a machine in this case...
A few years ago was different than today for PMUA. The PMUA system wouldn't actually cancel a ticket, AFAIK, until midnight on the day of scheduled departure. In todays system, the GA will offload any no shows before closing the flight, and then once the flight is closed, any no shows have the rest of their reservation canceled. Going up to a kiosk after this point, the best it will propose is that it can't find a reservation and to see an agent for assistance.
