I've dropped off bags early in the morning, flew around the country, and was back to pick them up right before the club closed.

So this brings up the question---Can one leave bags at the AC overnight?
This kinda makes an assumption that the AC is pre-security. I am not certain that they will let you bring bags thru security for checking (on airplane or even leaving at a AC). I am not talking about roll-aboards that could fit into the overhead.. I am thinking large checked type bags.

For example at JFK T8 AC is pre-security... not T9.

The ACs are doing this as a courtesy .. I doubt they would want the 'liability' of a bag left overnight. But you could always try.
