I hope someone can answer this question. I am lucky to be heading back to Aruba for a last minute week get away in a couple of weeks. My friend needs assistance in the airport and her usual travel companion was not able to go with her this trip, hence my last minute invite. I tried to get the same flight home as her on AA but it was $1300 at the time, way out of my budget. I was able to get a flight that departs later in the day for a little over $300. My question is, she departs at 2:55 and I depart at 4:55, will I be able to go to the airport with her and check in for my flight that early? I was hoping to assist her through the lines, get her boarded and then pay to get into the VIP lounge until my flight boards. If any one has been in a similar situation, I would appreciate any advise/guidance.
Thanks,
Pam
