Do you have to pay if you don't check-in online?

Airline Check-in Fee: Online vs. Airport?

Okay, so about airline check-in fees? Let's unpack that.

Basically, you can get your boarding pass at the airport without paying extra. Free, like free bird you know?

Most airports let you check in online, which, duh, is usually way easier. Did you know there's airports that don't do online check-in? Weird, right? I kinda think so!

I once was stuck at a small airport (think it was Bangor, Maine?) and online check-in wasn't an option. It made me a little nervous, I thought I was going to be charged a fee. You know, when you are wrong sometimes. I thought, maybe a lot of money! But the lady at the counter just printed my boarding pass. No fuss, no fee. Imagine that!
