Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton Offering Check-in at Hotels

View from the Wing has a great review of the new airline check-in kiosks being offered at major hotels across the US. Assuming that you haven’t checked any bags, it’s easy to print your boarding pass in the lobby on the way out the door, and skip that cumbersome line at check in.

Given how much easier it is to travel without checking luggage these days, I wonder what new tricks, technologies and tips will pop up in the next few years to enable people to pack more clothing in less space.

I’ve heard of travelers using those airtight garment bags to seal clothing down tight, allowing them to pack a week’s worth of clothes into their FAA-approved carry-on rollie bags.
