I'm doing STL-LGW next month and just bought my ticket and got this in my confirmation e-ail:

"The following is your receipt and itinerary confirmation for your Trans
World Electronic Ticketing purchase. No ticket is required for travel.
You will be required to present a photo ID at passenger check-in to
obtain your boarding pass. Luggage may be checked in at the ticket
counter or at curbside; receipt is required for curbside check-in."

Is this right? I can still do curbside check-in for an international flight on an E ticket? Thought all that had stopped.

If curb side check in is indeed allowed can I then proceed directly to the gate to get my boarding pass(seat already assigned)? Reason I am asking is that last couple of times I have been to the airport in that last month and flown AA the TWA check in lines were horrendous and as I am travelling with my 2 year old I want to try to reduce waiting in line time to a minimum.
