When approaching, customers are able to use several check-in methods, such as customary counter service, self-service machines, and convenient curbside check-in at both west and east curbside locations. The newly added east curbside, accessible by parking ramps or light rail, serves to spread out traffic and thin crowds, making check-in easier for travelers.
