It Does Matter When You Check in for Your Flight — Here's Why

It's critical for at least one airline, too.

Your flight is booked, bags are packed, and you're ready to roll on your next great vacation. Everything's set for your journey to the airport — but hang on. Did you check into your flight? If you haven't already, stop reading this story, go check in immediately and come back when you're done. We'll wait.

You're back? Phew. That was close. Because, according to Scott Keyes, founder of Scott's Cheap Flights and author of Take More Vacations , you should always check into your flight the second the option becomes available.

"There are a few instances where it is quite important to check in early — and the earlier, the better," Keyes shares with Travel + Leisure.

According to Keyes, if you're flying with certain airlines, this can matter just a bit more. For a prime example, he points to Southwest, as the airline assigns seats based on a first-come, first-serve basis.

"That first-come, first-serve is determined by what time you checked in for your flight," he says. "So, if you check-in for your flight, even five or 10 minutes after that 24-hour mark, you're going to likely get put into the B or C-section groups, which means your odds of sitting together as a group or getting an aisle or window seat are not great. Especially if it's a packed flight."

According to Keyes, whenever he takes a Southwest flight, he makes sure to set an alarm or calendar reminder so he can have his app open and ready for check-in.

Another reason Keyes warns that it's important to check into a flight as soon as you can is due to the risk of being late to the airport and not being able to check-in on arrival. For example, American Airlines won't let you check into a flight if you arrive within 45 minutes of takeoff for a domestic trip and within 90 minutes of takeoff for an international flight, meaning you either have to ensure you can really get to the airport early or just put your mind at ease by checking in beforehand. As for checking in at the airport at the last second, Keyes says, "there's essentially no good reason to be putting it off until then."

Beyond ensuring you can get on the plane, Keyes also notes there are other goodies to be had by checking in as early as you can on an airline's website or app.

"Sometimes airlines allow seat selection after check-in or at least have first pick compared to folks who check-in later," he says. "It's rare these days, but every once in a while, check-in time can be the tiebreaker for determining upgrades too."

Keyes says, sometimes, it can even be the tiebreaker for who gets bumped from an overpacked flight. He notes, this too is extremely rare, but hey, why take your chances? But, since you've already checked in like a responsible traveler, you've got nothing to worry about, so go ahead and make your way to the airport bar and toast to your responsible traveler habits.

How to check in for flights on American Airlines

It's almost time for your flight, and there's just one thing left to do before heading for airport security. And that's packing check in. This is the process that creates your boarding pass and allows you to check your bags at the airport .

You can do this formality online or at the airport, though many will prefer the convenience of the former. Either way, there are some rules to understand, so let's dive deep into checking in for an American Airlines flight .

How to check in online for American Airlines flights

You can check in for AA flights on the airline's website or through the mobile app. The experience is very similar, though the benefit of the mobile app is that you can generate a digital boarding pass within your mobile wallet.

After locating your reservation using your six-digit confirmation number, you'll be prompted to check in at the top left corner of the reservation page.

Pressing that button will take you through the check-in process. You'll then need to agree to the hazardous materials policy. Pressing continue will bring you to the Trip Options page, where you can purchase additional miles for your trip ( don't do it; it's a bad deal ).

You'll then be brought to the seat map to select or modify your seat for your flight(s).

After you select your seats, you'll be checked in!

You then have the option of printing your boarding passes now, emailing a mobile boarding pass to your phone or saving a PDF of your boarding pass.

Rules for American Airlines flight check-in

You can check in online or using the mobile app starting 24 hours before and up to 45 minutes before departure of the first flight in your itinerary. This applies even if you have a connecting flight that's more than a day away. Note that online and app check-in closes an hour and a half before departure for international flights.

If you're planning to check bags at the airport , you need to have the bags checked at least 45 minutes prior to domestic flights and 60 minutes prior to international flights. There are some airports with exceptions to this rule, which you can find on AA's website .

Furthermore, there are some airports that won't accept checked bags more than four hours before scheduled departure. This includes:

• Denver (DEN)
• Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
• Las Vegas (LAS)
• Orlando (MCO)
• Portland, Oregon (PDX)
• Salt Lake City (SLC)
• Seattle (SEA)

If the first flight of your itinerary is operating by an American Airlines partner , you're going to check in with that airline directly, and not on AA's website.

Tips and tricks to checking in for American Airlines flights

There are some things to consider when you check in for your flight. Make sure you have your confirmation number handy, especially if you're going to check in at the airport. The kiosks default to ask for that code, so this can save time.

I personally prefer to use mobile boarding passes to save paper and have one less thing to worry about misplacing. That said, you need to be sure you have your phone's battery charged for the entire trip, otherwise you'll be forced to get a physical boarding pass.

Another tip about mobile boarding passes is to screenshot it after it gets created. I often find that retrieving the mobile boarding pass can be confusing when you're under pressure, so be sure to screenshot it for easy access.

Lastly, if you get an error checking in online, fear not. You may be on a military fare, have a pet or are traveling with an unaccompanied minor. Or you may be subject to the dreaded SSSS , which will be printed on your boarding pass at the airport.

Bottom line

Checking in for your American Airlines flight is exciting. That means it's almost time to take to the skies. But, there are some tips and tricks to know and some rules to follow to make it an efficient process.

Armed with this guide, you'll be ready to head to the airport in no time.

Travel Checklist: 9 Things to Do Before Every Trip

W hile some things, like booking flights and hotel rooms, are obvious to-dos before a big trip, other tasks-like remembering to double-check whether you need a visa or an international driver's permit-sometimes slip through the cracks. That's why having a pretravel checklist can make for a smoother departure and reduce stress.

Here are nine things you should do in the run-up to your trip and before you leave for the airport, from preparing your home and choosing a phone plan to packing the essentials.

Make sure your passport is up to date

While a standard adult U.S. passport is valid for 10 years from the date of issue (or renewal), you should renew sooner than that .

Many countries (currently around 75 worldwide) require at least six months of passport validity beyond your departure date. If your passport is going to expire less than six months after you leave for your trip, you could be denied entry or deported. Additionally, some nations require that your passport have between one and three completely blank visa pages, so be sure to check the rules for your destination .

Similarly, if your passport has details that are no longer accurate (for instance, you've gotten married and changed your last name), you'll want to have that corrected or have your airplane ticket changed to match the passport information.

Check if you need a visa and immunizations

To enter certain foreign countries, you'll need some specific visas and immunizations before you can board the plane.

Start by researching the entry requirements for your destination. Most governments have official websites or consular offices that provide detailed information about what is necessary to visit.

For visas, whether or not you need one often depends on your nationality and how long you plan to stay. Additionally, some countries have non-negotiable immunizations that need to be obtained before entry (for instance, a number of countries in Africa require yellow fever vaccinations and certifications ). Other countries may have suggested, but not mandatory, requirements for medications (such as antimalarial tablets). It's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or travel clinic for up-to-date information on vaccinations and health advisories.

Consider travel insurance

No matter how well you plan your vacation, there's always the potential for accidents and unforeseen circumstances that can derail everything.

Travel insurance can help safeguard you against unexpected events, like trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, or flight delays. Not only does it mitigate financial losses, but it also ensures you have someone to help you if things go wrong far from home.

In some scenarios, like an expedition cruise to a polar region, the company organizing the trip makes travel insurance mandatory, so be sure to check what requirements your tour has ahead of time. Some cruise lines offer insurance directly through their booking process, which makes it an easier-if not always the most economic-option.

Keep in mind that credit card insurance covers some things, but not all, and that different cards cover different things. Cancel For Any Reason Coverage (CFAR) is another option in the insurance toolkit to review: It gained popularity during COVID and can still be useful in certain cases.

Even if you don't end up needing your travel insurance, having it can provide peace of mind.

Make a safety plan

No matter your destination, it's wise to familiarize yourself with local laws and customs, and to read up on potential safety concerns, particularly those related to current political and health situations specific to that area. The Department of State website is a good place to start, although it is usually quite conservative in its approach to safety issues. You might also consider looking online for blog posts about "important things to know before visiting (insert destination here)" to see what else pops up.

Be sure to share your itinerary with a trusted friend or family member so they know your whereabouts in case of emergency. Another option is to share your location with them via your phone, so they can keep track of you in real time. Signing up for the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is another good idea. It is a free service for U.S. citizens and nationals who are traveling abroad, which allows them to input information about their trip (where they're going, how they can be contacted, etc.), so that the State Department can help in emergencies (ranging from finding local attorneys and doctors to fleeing the country in the event of war or natural disasters).

Confirm whether you'll need a special driving permit

Different countries have different rules and regulations when it comes to driving, and in some cases, the driver's license issued by your home state doesn't quite cut it. Depending on where you're going, you may need an international driving permit instead.

Luckily, they're easy to get . The Automobile Association of America (AAA) issues permits in their various offices countrywide and by mail for $20; all you need to do is submit a simple application, two passport-type photos, and a photocopy of both sides of your driver's license. They're currently valid in more than 150 countries. However, there are some countries, like China and Ethiopia, that don't consider international licenses valid and instead offer their own temporary driving permit for travelers, so be sure to look up what the rules in your destination are. Websites for U.S. embassies in those countries and the Department of State can help in that matter.

Choose an international phone plan (or plan for a different option once on the ground)

If you want to use your phone internationally , check to see if your current carrier offers international roaming options. If it doesn't offer international data (or the cost is prohibitively expensive), consider purchasing a prepaid plan from a local carrier at your destination (though if you go that route, make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with the local network). Often you can purchase local SIM cards at booths in the airport. You can also now buy eSIM cards (a digital version of a SIM card) online from companies like Airalo .

Note that some carriers, like Google Fi, offer automatic international service with no preauthorization or extra packages or SIM cards necessary, at the same price as in your home country.

Another option is to rent a Wi-Fi hot spot (available at phone stores for as little as $7 a day; or Travelers Wifi will mail you one). You could also just leave your phone in airplane mode and use free Wi-Fi when you can get it.

Prepare your home for while you're away

You know the basics (taking out the trash, setting your thermostat, double-checking that all doors and windows are locked), but there are plenty of other steps to remember. Consider, for instance, unplugging any non-essential appliances to prevent energy waste and reduce the risk of electrical issues. While you may already know to empty your refrigerator of perishable items, do you always sweep and clean up any food crumbs that might otherwise attract pests? Also, if you can't arrange for someone to care for plants in your absence, consider buying a self-watering device, like those from Cowbell Plant Co.

If you're going on a longer trip , it's also a good idea to forward your mail or ask a neighbor to collect it to avoid the appearance of an empty home; you can also arrange for the USPS to hold it . You might want to equip your home with camera security systems ( Ring and SwitchBot are solid options), so you can keep an eye on it while you're away.

Download in-flight entertainment

Nobody wants to be stuck on a long-haul flight without something to keep them occupied. Sure, most airlines offer in-flight movies and TV shows, but there's a chance the options don't interest you (or aren't in your preferred language). On the other hand, many streaming services allow users to download movies and shows for offline watching, so you can ensure you'll have something you'll enjoy.

It's also a good idea to check with your specific airline to see if its in-flight entertainment service is available only through a personal device, which would require you to download an app before boarding (like United ).

Pack your bags

What you need to bring on a vacation depends in part on where you go, what the weather will be like, and what activities you have planned. But the following lists are a good starting point.

• Footwear (including hiking boots or water shoes ; our editor at large packs this boot on every winter trip)
• Socks (we're partial to Bombas )
• Layers of cold-weather gear (remember that merino wool holds in heat, wicks away moisture, and is naturally antimicrobial)
• Jackets/outwear (outdoor gear companies are making progress in the plus-size category too )
• Swimwear and other beach necessities
• Hat (for sun or the cold)

Personal documents

• Hotel, flight, tour confirmations
• Insurance card and travel insurance contact number
• Documentation for any medication that might be controlled in other countries (e.g., Singapore has a list )

Electronics

• Chargers/adapters
• Earbuds / noise-canceling headphones
• AirTags if you're checking a bag
• Travel apps that travel editors use
• Medications (keep prescriptions in their official bottles)
• Compression socks for the flight
• Packing cubes
• Water bottle
• Neck pillow

2 hrs is way enough... Pretty easy airport to use...

Agree with above,

Several times used this airport. The queues for checking passports were less than in Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo. Usually 5-10 minutes.

Agree with the above posters--under 10 minutes and very easy.

Sounds perfect...takes I think 40-45 minutes, so gives you 2 full hours...more than enough time!

Thank you ebertj
