I appreciate international flights, and US domestic, have different requirements.
I do like Qantas domestic, swipe the frequent flyer card at the pole in the airport and you're checked in. Especially handy with HLO.
Then swipe the card when boarding and it's all done.
The pole is handy because it sends you an SMS with the flight details and seat number, but you can skip that part and just swipe at the gate if you already know your flight details.
