So that your flying experience is as smooth and stress free as possible, we recommend you check-in at least 30 minutes before your flight. At most of our ports you can check-in at any time on the day of travel. However, some regional airports only open 90 minutes prior to the scheduled flight time, so to check opening times with the port you’re flying from search airport information.
