There will soon be Another new travel rule that domestic leaflets will have to keep in mind before going to the airport.
From June 3, United Airlines will demand that all national passengers register for their flights at least 45 minutes before departure. Domestic travelers who do not manage in time could be refused the verification of their bags or be forced to miss their flights.
“Change brings greater consistency for our customers by aligning with our current verified luggage period and the registration policies followed by most other airlines,” said a spokesperson for United Airlines in a statement to Yahoo News.
Although it is standard for airlines and airports to recommend that travelers arrive at least two hours before their departure time for flights to the United States, some people do not want to sit and wait at airports, hence the creation of Tiktok’s “airport theory” From the beginning of 2025 when people turned to the arrival of the airport 15 to 20 minutes before their flight.
What changes in the United Airlines recording process?
The recording break time is now 45 minutes before departure, rather than 30 minutes. This rule applies to passengers with and without recorded luggage; International trips must record at least 60 minutes before departure.
Otherwise, most of the process remains the same. Travelers can check their flights 24 hours in advance either online, on the United Application or in an airport kiosk. For American flights, United recommends that travelers arrive at their door 15 minutes before boarding. Passengers must be on the plane 15 minutes before departure.
What happens if travelers don’t register on time?
According to the United website, if travelers do not meet registration times, United Employees “will do our best to find another option”.
However, United also notes that its employees have the right to refuse services, which could lead to the cancellation of flight reservations, refuse boarding or option to check the bags.
Delta Airlines has implemented a similar rule earlier this year
In April, Delta announcement That, for most airports, if a traveler flies in the country and checks a bag, he must record at least 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
However, if passengers do not plan to check their bags for an internal flight, they can record 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. (Some airports with Delta Terminals, however, require passengers without bags recorded for Save at least 45 minutes before departure.)
