Excuse my my ignorance but what is valet checking and how does it differ from gate checking?
Hi,

Gate checking will be done at the podium in the terminal before the boarding pass scanner and going down the jetway. ( bags will be tagged to final destination and will go to baggage reclaim)

Valet checking will be done prior to boarding the aircraft as the overheads on the regional jet are smaller and bags wil be put on a cart. At arrival the bags will be loaded onto another cart and will be brought round and you collect them before going into the terminal building

Regards
