- Check-in & boarding deadlines
  
  We recommend that you arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight's departure. This is because of possible waiting times.
  
  We recommend that you check-in at least 60 minutes before departure when traveling on a domestic flight. For flights to/from Scandinavia and Finland we recommend check-in two hours before departure. For international flights to/from Asia and the US the recommended check-in time is three hours before departure. This is to make sure you have enough time to check in, drop your baggage, go through the security control and to be at the gate on time.
  
  To save time at the airport you have the possibility to check-in online, starting 22 hours before your scheduled departure.
