Just wanted to bring this to an official close. I had EB and after check in saw that I could not I could not print out a BP for neither segment. It said to check in at a kiosk or see an agent. Fortunately the line wasn't long on Thanksgiving day at 4:15am for neither the kiosks nor the international desk. I asked a lady near the kiosks and once she heard me say MBJ, she told me to go to the international counter. Got our BP without a problem and the second segment has the Docs OK already printed on it. I'm still not sure if the kiosk would've allowed me to actually get my BPs, though. A worker at the international counter had previously said that they need to actually see the passports to issue the BPs.

They don't have any closets on SW metal. The best I've been able to do when traveling with a suit I haven't wanted to wear is to have a carabiner in your carry-on and hang it on the hook that secures your seat-back tray. The suit would need to have a little loop at the top to hang it with. I guess you'd be okay with even a metal hanger in your carry-on to hang it on if it gets through security.

And what screening would be done at FLL? I seem to recall years ago a gate agent needed to see my passport to fly to AUA and stamped a red OK on the BP and that was it. Just hoping I don't have to re-clear security. Obviously things will be made clear the day before when I see which BPs I'll be able to print out. Not sure if that's the reason for the 3-hour layover in FLL.

Travelling from BWI-MBJ on one ticket with a 3-hour layover in FLL. The flight leaves BWI at 6:15am. Will I have to go to the International Check-In at BWI to have them view my passport (not checking any bags)? Will I get a boarding pass when I check in online for the BWI-FLL leg? If the passport gets verified in FLL, is that done by the gate agent who will print a boarding pass? I have experienced horribly long lines with SW at BWI in the early morning for both international check-in and for checking a bag. I also hear SW agents don't start serving customers until 4:45am, so I don't want to cut it too close.
Thanks!
