• 本日討論重點：long check-in line 長長的報到隊伍
• check-in counter 報到櫃檯
• Q：How can we avoid this long check-in line?
• A：

1. curbside check-in 路邊報到服務
   - That's where you check-in outside the terminal.
   - Where you get drop off, curbside check-in allow you to check-in right there after you get off the car.
   - One thing you have to remember is you have to tip the skycap.
   -- skycap : 路邊服務人員
2. kiosks(a self service) 自助報到亭，設於機場大廳，但僅限於隨身攜帶的行李
   - If you traveling light and only have carry-ons then kiosks will be a good way to avoid waiting in lime.
