Thanks to everyone for all the info on OLCI. Sounds like a non-issue.
I have done curbside check in many times at LAX, and I do understand that it's a full check-in including getting a boarding pass, but it's been a while since I've had an international flight out of LAX, and my recollection was that for international you couldn't check in and dump your bags at the curb, you had to go inside -- perhaps that's changed -- but when I looked at the LAX website it says that you can't use curbside check in for international (as opposed to what the AA website says).
Can you now do curbside check in for international at LAX?
