Eh, do away with the kiosk.
Weird having to check-in at a Kiosk with someone on a video call, that was obviously in another country. Only the kiosk was available because the lobby was deserted and locked. We arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon with check-in at 3pm. A live person didnt show up until around 4.
