United Airlines has updated its 'contract of carriage' to double the required check-in time for passengers, although enforcement of this policy has not yet begun. As reported by Live and Let's Fly, domestic flight passengers must now check in at least 60 minutes before departure, an increase from the previous 30-minute requirement. For international flights, the new check-in time is 75 minutes prior to departure, up from 60 minutes.
Certain airports may have different check-in requirements. According to United Airlines, these changes are not currently being enforced but could be in the future. The airline's website has not been updated to reflect these changes.
"We’ve updated our Contract of Carriage to allow for possible future changes," a United spokesperson stated. "However, at this time there has been no change to the check-in times on united.com. Any changes in check-in times will be posted there before they go into effect at the airport."
