Airport check-in times

We urge you to arrive at the airport with ample time to check in, get your boarding pass, clear security and get to the gate.

US Airways closes passenger and baggage check-in 30 minutes prior to departure for domestic travel and 60 minutes prior to departure for international travel.

Passengers with bags to check who are departing from the following airports must check-in at least 45 minutes prior to departure:

  • If you are not checked in and waiting in the boarding area at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time for domestic U.S. (30 minutes for international travel), your reservation may be canceled and you will not be eligible for denied boarding compensation.
  • Save time and check in online for domestic and international flights beginning 24 hours and up to 90 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time.
  • Use the airport kiosks for convenient, self-service check-in at the airport.
  • Please allow additional time for parking and security lines.
