No I meant it and I thought it was 24 hours and not more. If you are close or you are like that guy in "The Terminal" you could zip over, check in and go home.
I check in at MGA at the CTO a day before my flights. They don't take the luggage but issue BP's all the way home. I go straight to the VIP lounge on arrival and just give the embarkation/debarkation copy to them to give to AA which they do.
