United Airlines has a new check-in policy

Earlier this year, Delta Air Lines adjusted its domestic check-in cutoff from 30 minutes to 45 minutes before departure for most U.S. flights. International flights still require check-in at least 60 minutes before departure, but the window to check bags has also tightened in some airports.

This week, United Airlines silently updated their check-in policy: passengers must now check in no later than 45 minutes prior to takeoff for domestic flights.

What passengers need to know to stay prepared

Check in online first
Most airlines allow online check-in 24 hours before departure. Doing this ahead of time reduces time spent at airport kiosks and lets you spot any travel alerts. Try setting a calendar reminder on your phone to send you a notification to check in early. Doing so can also improve your boarding group for some airlines.

Arrive 2 hours early (yes, really)
Airlines recommend arriving at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights. This is especially critical if you're checking bags.

And don’t forget: TSA screening lines can be a major variable. Even with TSA PreCheck, some airports report wait times as long as 30–45 minutes during peak hours. Regular security lines can take even longer.

To avoid surprises, visit your airport’s website ahead of your flight; most now offer real-time TSA wait time estimates. Knowing this data can help you better plan your arrival time and reduce stress.

Know the bag drop deadlines
Even if you’re checked in online, bag drop counters close at the same time as check-in deadlines. Showing up late with a bag means you could be denied boarding.

Download your airline’s app
These apps often send push notifications with updates on gate changes, boarding times and policy changes.
