Using on-line check-in one receives an A (or, as I look at it, front of the B
line) boarding pass. Sent it by FAX to the hotel front-desk - well worth the
nominal charge to avoid the check-in.
Flights left on time, arrived early, with quite reasonable prices.
Only down side (to me) is that the use MDW instead of ORD.
