Recommended Check-In Times
If travel is completely within the Bahamas, recommended check-in time is at least 30 minutes prior to departure when not checking baggage, and at least 60 minutes prior to departure if checking baggage.
For international flights, we recommend you arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to departure to allow sufficient time to complete all necessary international requirements.
Domestic Travel
In addition to checking in 30 minutes before departure, you must be present at the departure gate and ready to board at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time to retain your reservation and a seat.
Check-In Requirements And Baggage Acceptance Cutoff Times
Customers must comply with minimum check-in requirements to retain their seats on the flight on which they are confirmed. Pre-reserved seats are subject to cancellation unless you have checked in (obtained a boarding pass) at least 30 minutes before scheduled departure.
For passengers checking bags, there are also baggage acceptance cutoff times. “Baggage acceptance cutoff time” means that customers must present themselves and their baggage to an airline representative for check-in no later than the stated cutoff times for the departure airport.
International Travel
For flights originating outside the Bahamas you must check in 60 minutes before departure, and be present at the departure gate and ready to board at least 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure time to retain your reservation and a seat. Standard baggage acceptance cutoff for flights originating in all airports outside the Bahamas is 60 minutes before departure.
For international departures from a U.S. city, standard baggage acceptance cutoff time is 60 minutes.
