Many do online checkin
I used kuwait and had to ring up which was a nightmare where the wife had to take over as the womans english was ok but couldn't understand my accent.
Cathay said once we got though no need any more to reconfirm.
Many airlines allow you to check in online which would make sure you had reconfirmed i guess.
Many hotels and agents will be happy to do the work for you or will up to date on the latest procedure in many cases.
