– Why do airlines let passengers check-in online 24 hours beforehand? By checking in, shouldn’t they confirm a passenger is actually at the airport?

I honestly think it’s just a straight up scam. If you buy premium economy, southwest checks you in automatically 24 hours ahead. It’s mostly just an excuse to upsell priority boarding, etc. IMO. Yes airlines overbook, but they do that long before the check-in process.
