I'm presently at Princess Juliana - for the second time today <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
For about 15 of the 18 years that I've been here, I've dropped off my luggage in the a.m. in order to enjoy a leisurely day (w/o worrying about luggage) before returning to board in the late afternoon.
No more.
We were not allowed to check in more than 4 hours before flight time (which ended up being delayed) --- "new policy" we were told.
