This may be old hat to some of you, but new to me. This morning at Anchorage airport I saw a completely self-serve luggage check station.

I had no luggage so I couldn't give it a try, but it appeared that you punched in your confirmation number and then, when your baggage tags printed, you applied them to your luggage and then popped your luggage down the chute.

Evidentally they are testing them in Seattle as well but I've never seen them. Anybody know anything about this? Do you get............MORE MILES????
