United Airlines updates flight check-in times
(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - United Airlines is narrowing its check-in window for U.S. flights.
Effective June 3, United's check-in cutoff for most U.S. flights will be 45 minutes before departure.
This is the same deadline United has for passengers checking luggage at the airport, but 15 minutes earlier than the current one for people without bags to check.
A United spokesperson told the Associated Press the change is to conform with check-in policies of other airlines.
However, check-in deadlines may vary by location and route, and for international flights, United requires checking in at least an hour before departure.
