Have I checked in if I have my boarding pass?

Technically no, But I find it a good idea to “check-in” when you get to the boarding gate (any gate if your gate is not staffed yet) , Sometimes there is a change of equipment, and the computer will sometimes re-seat you to a different seat. You can then “fix” it if the computer does not give you a equivalent seat.
