You can check in for your flight up to 24 hours ahead of departure time, unless you purchase early bird check in.

You can check-in up to 24 hours in advance! If you add "EarlyBird Check-In", you will be automatically checked in, receive a better boarding position and have earlier access to the overhead bins.
