BusinessExtraa BXP1 Certificate. How Much Time at Check In.
I upgraded an economy fare from EWR - ORD in First with a BXP1. 3 Upgrade Spaces were available when I upgraded and it's cleared. How much time should it take at the airport for the check in agent to look at my BXP1 and process it?

Yes, a good agent can do it quickly. But a bad agent? I've had some bad experiences. Once nearly missed a BOS-LHR flight due to agent's inability to complete this task in 20+ minutes. Original poster is right to be thinking about this.

I'd give yourself an extra 20 minutes - it only takes them marginally more time than a traditional check-in but that's not accounting for lines at the airport.
Also, give kiosk and/or online check-in a shot first. It works for me about 1/10 times (they will still usually ask for the voucher during boarding).
