If you’re on your way out of Los Angeles via LAX on a domestic flight, you can check in your bags before you get there at a handful of spots around town: the Van Nuys FlyAway Bus Terminal, Los Angeles Convention Center, Union Station FlyAway, and the Port of Los Angeles Cruise Ship Terminal. It’s called remote airline and baggage check-in. Your baggage will go through normal inspection, receive tags and you’ll receive your boarding pass. The service is courtesy of a collaboration between LAX, certain airlines at LAX, the Transportation Security Administration, and Baggage Airline Guest Services, Inc. It’s one less thing to worry about and one less airport line to stand in.
