My wife and I are flying EWR-SFO on Continental Friday. We will probably check two bags. She is coming from home and I am coming from work. Since I may arrive with less time to spare before boarding, I wanted to know whether she can get our boarding passes and check our bags before I arrive so that when I arrive, all we have to do is go to the gate.

If she can't get my boarding pass at the counter, could she get her own boarding pass and check the two bags and then when I arrive, could I check in at a kiosk and get my boarding pass so we can quickly make our way to the gate?

I'm planning on parking in P6, long-term parking and taking the bus back to the terminal. My wife will take a car service to the airport.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hopefully, the traffic friday afternoon/evening won't be so bad and this won't be an issue. fyi.. I'm planning on leaving work at 5:30pm for a 7:30pm flight. it is about a 30 minute drive with normal traffic to the long-term parking lot.

any thoughts?
