I hope the odds are in my favor. I'm planning on getting there around 7am and be one of the first ones at 9am, if not the first when the doors open. Worst case, i hope they could get it done the next day. It'll just suck for me. I'd stay overnight, get home to pick up my bags and then another 4.5 hours to lax.
Do you happen to know if the same day rush service fee is added on top of the express service, or is it one or the other? It doesn't really say on their website. I have express serviced checked on the application. The website just mentions an additional fee.
