Web check-in is arguably the single biggest time-saver in modern air travel. The primary reason to use it is to avoid the long, frustrating queues at the airport check-in counters. By checking in online through the airline's website or mobile app (usually opening 24 to 48 hours before the flight), you can secure your seat, often even choosing your preferred spot if you haven't already, and obtain your boarding pass digitally. This means you can bypass the main check-in line entirely upon arriving at the airport. If you're traveling with only carry-on luggage, you can proceed directly to the security checkpoint. If you have bags to check, most airlines have a dedicated, and much shorter, "bag drop" counter for passengers who have already checked in online. This process dramatically reduces stress and uncertainty, especially during peak travel times.
