Rev 10/16/14

• • UNITED CHECK IN COUNTER

    • Far end of Terminal C. Check in at top level @ Premier LEVEL, where you will find the GROUP DESK to check in. 

  • Post a tag or label with your name, address and contact number on the outside and inside of your bags, including carryon as this may be checked at the door of the aircraft.

  • 5AM MEETING at CHECK IN

    • Michele strongly requests everyone meet there by 5AM for this 6:50AM flight. The group will not pass through check in until everyone is there. Be kind and be on time!

  • CHECKED BAG FEE

    • United DOES charge for your 1st checked bag. Ingrid is trying to get this waived, but arrive expecting to pay the $25 fee. Those who have the United credit card that allows 1 free checked bag - you WILL get your 1st bag in free. BUT remember to bring your card.

  • CARRY ON

    • STAY within the carry on bag limits!!! max = 22" x 14" x 9"

    • You are allowed 1 carry on and 1 "purse". For the Purse, bring a tote bag (max=9" x 10" x 17") as your purse, and stuff with your real purse and other stuff.

    • Remember - NO sharp objects, no bottles with liquid

    • SNACKS available for purchase on all flights. NO Free food or snacks!!!

    • You may bring snack foods thru security, and you may bring an empty water bottle to refill at fountains PAST security.
