Thanks for the clarification, fly co to see the yanks. A fax option is also available with Auto Check-in, but only when you opt for it using online check-in.

I didn't get the e-mail the previous week and retrieved in latter on. But then again it was a bad weather day so I'm sure the system was overloaded with cancellations.

At arrival in LAS (my flight home was the next day), I was told I was not on the waitlist for F, but they did put me on it when I asked. Also at the kiosk, there was no option for being put on a waitlist, when I went to print out my boarding pass for my return flight.

Wonder if there is a general glitch. My wife is silver and the OLCI did not offer the waistlist option and the BP did not display Silver elite access on a flight last week from RSW to EWR.

Thanks for the info CO Insider. It all worked out in the end, but as my return flight was looking very full, I was prepared to sit in the back. But happily didn't have to:D

I recently selected auto-checkin for the return portion of a PNR with four passengers on it. The sequence numbers that we received were interesting when compared with our individual OnePass status levels:

Platinum - 1
Gold - 2
Silver - 3
No status - 10

Interesting. My S/O had one with 30 on it (no status).

i just found about about auto check-in. Where can i choose this option? i tried to manage my reservations but i can't find it anywhere.

nm found out it's only for return flights.

This is the case at all Kiosks - if you check in online - then reprint the boarding pass - the "Added to First Class standby list" will not show on the reprinted boarding pass - even though you are on the list.

Likely should merge the two threads. I did not realize one was already started on the subject.

Yep, this has been happening for quite a while and I remember one or two previous threads about this.

I'm not impressed with auto check in. Used it for the first time this week and it put me into the mid-row seat I had originally booked (12E), rather than the window seat I had subsequently changed my reservation to (14A). I rang the help line and they could do nothing about it, even though the seat showed as 14A when I looked at my reservation. Two hours later it shows 12E. Also sequence number is 39. I know it's EWR-IAH, but with platinum I had hoped for a little higher. So the 0/6 run continues
Anybody else had this problem?

Which problem?

The 39 SEQ could be related to the number of people connecting in EWR to your flight, making 39 not all that high, as they all could've checked in prior to your for their initial flight. As for the seat assignment, when did you move from 12E to 14A? CO Insider did mention that there is something going on with it where it tries to get you the best available seat at the time of check-in, though I can't imagine that it would change a reservation where there is already a seat assigned.

smb12, I was referring to the system putting me into a middle exit seat rather than a window exit seat that I had changed to about a week ago. If that's trying to give you a better seat, I'd rather not bother!

Did you not already have a seat assignment? It should not have changed your seat unless maybe there was an equipment change?

magnaman Jan 24, 2008 2:24 pm

I had a seat assignment when I had first booked (12E). I'd changed that on line about a week ago to 14A, but when the auto check in occured it threw me back to the original 12E, even though when I looked at my flight details on line it still showed 14A. When I checked those details two hours later, the flight details on line showed 12E and 14A was shown as assigned
