I called Business Extra and the agent had no clue, she asked her help desk who said they "took out a line" and told me to try checking in again, but still no dice. Pax will now have to get to the airport counter by 7:45am for an 8:30am flight rather than strolling up to the gate
I mentioned that this was a semi-known glitch but agent said she hadn't heard of it.
I suspect this has something to do with giving them a paper document in the past, and it never got corrected.
