If it were something you were entitled to, you would think you'd even be able to do it as a kiosk.
wrong again. tsk tsk.

gate agents aren't under the pressure of getting a flight off on time. if there is room on the flight, they have always done it for me.

check in agents don't seem to be under any pressure. when i am waiting on line, they all seem to move at their own pace. so, what the heck, check every possible rule.

gate agents seem to be more empowered, as long as the flight goes on time.

again, i am only giving my personal experience. other than my JFK experience, i have never had a problem flying to co-terminals when i ask at the gate. never.
