Forced to check in at airport
I have a flight tomorrow morning, domestic. 1 leg. I go to check in and it says I have to check in at the airport. This has never happened to me before. I spoke to the chat reps and they said it is a an “extra security” measure.
- I have TSA precheck and global entry
- I am 33 weeks pregnant, and my return is also within the 33 week window
- I am platinum pro so I fly quite often
- this is a work trip so I had to book through my company’s travel site (Navan) (regular seats as they don’t let us book basic economy)
- I upgraded myself to FC on both outbound and return
Im trying to think what on earth bullshit awaits for me at the airport.
I have traveled a lot in my pregnancy so I thought maybe I got flagged in my notes somewhere that I am pregnant and they are gonna want to verify how far along I am?
Another thought, they oversold FC and are gonna try to screw me over?
And ANOTHER thought. My husband just flew back from Dallas (before my check in opened) and he got help up at security for an HOUR over his laptop. He is a more seasoned traveler than I (he’s been EP for years). After tsa was extremely rude to him and basically treated him like a criminal and was doing something wrong and made him go through additional screening they called over the “electronics” expert who said “this is just a normal laptop guys” and let him go. He has never experienced anything like that before. So now I’m thinking, maybe I’ve been flagged cuz of his incident this morning.
Any thoughts?
