All the OP's daughter had to do was maybe allow 30 minutes extra at the airport to walk up to the counter to get a boarding pass, problem solved. It's not like oh hey you checked in at the airport instead of online, no precheck for you!
Not quite
same scenario that you posed but its really
Target has Target Brand (off brand) Tylenol
Target has Tylenol Brand Tylenol
You want the Brand name but you go to Target the day before you really need it (you know you always get a backache when you fly) so that you have it for the flight
However Target will only sell you the Target Brand Tylenol the day before your flight; if you want the brand name stuff you can only get it day of flight and 3 hours before your flight.
Now if you pay target an extra fee, they will sell you that brand name Tylenol whenever you want it.
