But I was curious as to whether the invitation to activate Auto Check in to be checked in 48h in advance still functions in these times?

Obviously given what needs to be verified these days you’d still need to present to a Check In Desk so I am wondering if there is any point in activating the Auto Check In button?

Are there any advantages to do doing ?

(Confirmation to the airline that you still intend to travel?)

Or is there simply no point?

Thanks in advance.
