Hi all! Have an AS flight next week and probably will be at the airport about 6 hours before departure time. I know AS policy is to accept checked bags 4 hours prior, but is there any chance they can accept them earlier? This way I can pass security and sit in a lounge instead of waiting outside.

It’s a late night flight so I’m sure the counters are open, so I’m only wondering if the system would allow agents to do so. If not, I might need to try not go to the airport too early.

Thanks in advance for any input!
