How to use Early Bird Checkin

[sa94gi]

Hello -

I purchased the early bird check in; it says I can check in  36 hours prior to my flight.

I tried it for my first flighton 11/29 and it did not allow me to check in prior to the 24 hour window.

What specifically do I need to do to check in? as of now, my next flight leaves 12/2 at 4:50pm so I am within the 36 hour period that the Early Bird check in states.

Please advise - thank you!!

You will be automatically checked-in at the 36-hour time with Early Bird.

The wording is confusing in one way - your boarding pass can still only be claimed or opened after the 24-hour mark.

There's no action for you to take during the 36 hours to 24 hours time.

But since you are already checked in, there's no need to rush to a computer at the 24-hour mark, you can claim your boarding pass anytime that is convenient prior to the flight after the 24-hour time.

The website and app buttons will still say "check in" but you are already assigned a boarding pass, your check-in will only be claiming the boarding pass for printing or upload to your phone, app, whatever.

Very difficult to check in width early bird.  Finally find out you say you automatically check me in.  I hope so. malminer
