Don't Wait Too Long

There have been instances where airlines and third parties have refused to refund a seat for COVID positive passengers after they have already checked in online.

For most airports, you must be checked in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time (airports requiring additional time are listed below, Go to footer note).
