On June 3, 2025, United Airlines will implement a new check-in policy for domestic flights, requiring passengers to check in at least 45 minutes prior to departure. This update aligns with existing checked baggage deadlines and policies of other airlines. It applies to all passengers, whether they have checked baggage or not. Travelers are urged to be mindful of the new cutoff to avoid potential denial of boarding or service. The article also discusses the rising trend of arriving just 20 minutes before departure, which can lead to missed flights.
Starting June 3, 2025, United Airlines will require passengers to check in for domestic flights at least 45 minutes before departure, replacing its previous 30-minute guideline.
The change brings greater consistency for our customers by aligning with our current checked baggage deadline and the check-in policies followed by most other airlines.
If you don't meet your check-in time limits, we'll do our best to find another option. However, we have the right to deny service.
It's recommended across the board to arrive at the airport 2 hours before departure to avoid the risk of missing your flight.
