Yes, Air India, UA from New Zealand and another flight from TPE (BR). What I do not understand why no APC machines in use for US passport holders, there used have this but not now (its now for non US Passport ESTA holders). The baggage was out I guess a long time before I got there, so much baggage that poor guy at baggage claim sort out bags to allow baggage from the next flight to come out.
