First timer: online check-in!
 
What's up with DL IT? Although I was informed about tighter security, yada yada, on Jan, 9th, 2010, there was a first timer for me today.

I was actually able to *drum roll* check in ONLINE for the very first time since I fly DL. ^ I just finished the process and it worked! No more "Mr. D. please see the agents" display on screen! :D No more blank pages coming up after typing your details! Hooray. :cool:

Ofc. my printer is out of paper at the moment but that is something even I cannot blame on dl :o

First time ever? Wow. The only time I have not been allowed OLCI is when using PMUs. Last year that was 3/68 check ins.

Well for domestics it always worked out but this was actually the first time it worked for the TATL part, too. Before I either got a blank screen or "Please contact an agent".

Did you have your passport details stored? I have been using OLCI exclusively and never once used a check-in agent in 5 years and 5-600 flights. I am shocked you have gone this long...it can add 30-45 mins to every flight. Congrats.

Yes, my profile is up to date. In the past, TXL had no bag drop counter at the DL gate, so I had to see the agent anyway. Therefore it was never a huge time saver for my outbound but I would have loved it for the inbounds from SAT or AUS. Now they do have bag drops, so I hope this wasn't just a lucky glitch.

It seems even the kiosks are working on international trips now. When I scanned my BP yesterday the kiosk was NOT showing "Please see agent" right away but I got a menu with things I can do ... :cool:

Sweet. Yes I forget that I have flown from BOS or LAX for the last 15 years and not everybody has a major AP to originate from.
