Absolutely, and I mean absolutely make sure to check in online and fix any potential issues with your boarding pass prior to the airport.

I always check online and never had to use check in assistance...until recently the one flight and could not check in as normal due to an error. Lineup was about 100 people at the WJ desk cluttering the departure hall and easily 2 hours long there alone with staffing available. Luckily since we had our vaccine codes and papers our check in issue got fixed at the baggage drop, but it still delayed us a good 30 min before security.
We were unable to do this for our return flight home from the US. American Airlines uses VeriFLY as their Coivd travel document host but it is not recognized in Canada, so we could not check in online. Knowing this we arrived at the airport about 2 1/2 hours early and all passengers on international flights departing the US (as far as I could tell) needed to be checked in by an agent, who would visually check vaccine documents.
