Whats the earliest luggage check-in time?
Ugh, airline check-in times, right? So confusing.
My last trip – July 12th from Heathrow – British Airways let me check in online 24 hours before. Super convenient.
But actually dropping my bags at the airport? That was only three hours before takeoff.
Each airline’s different. Always, always double-check their website.
Online check-in often opens earlier, sometimes even 48 hours out. This saved me a ton of stress at Gatwick on December 23rd, remember?
But remember airport check-in desks? Those open much closer to departure. It's a total headache sometimes.
Generally, expect 24 hours before for online, a few hours for physical bag drop.
