Curbside baggage check is getting kicked to, well, the curb by American Airlines.
With its recent move, now only Delta and Southwest Airlines still offer the service in which travelers can check luggage outside Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and bypass ticket counters and kiosks.
Trevena Moore learned a few weeks ago the hard way that American — Lambert’s second-largest carrier — no longer provides curbside check-in. She grew up in Florissant and had come back to visit family with her two children, ages 6 and 11.
She had five bags to check for their flight home to the U.S. Virgin Islands after birthday celebrations for her daughter. But no American skycaps were to be found, she said, and a Delta skycap helped get her luggage inside on a cart.
