New check – in times at UK airports

All passengers who fly from Heathrow and Gatwick Airport have been advised to make themselves familiar with new check in times that have been introduced at the airports. On the 28^th October 2007 British Airways introduced a new minimum check – in time of 45 minutes to help make passengers’ journeys through the airports quicker and easier. 

There are many reasons as to why British Airways have introduced this new system but it is mainly to benefit their customers. Having a consistent check – in time ensures that travellers always know how much time they should allow themselves to go through this process.    

All passengers should be aware of the fact that all British Airways and Great Britain airport check – in desks, kiosks and bag drop desks at Heathrow and Gatwick Airport will close 45 minutes before the flight is scheduled to depart. However, online check – in is not affected and will continue to close 60 minutes before departure. Check – in times for flights from all other airports both in the UK and around the world remain unchanged.
