Deadlines

See updated flight information

A punctual flight schedule is one of your top priorities, and it is one of ours as well. You can help us keep to schedule by remembering the following 3 deadlines each time you fly:

  • your Check-In Deadline: This is the time limit beyond which you can no longer check in for your flight nor check in your baggage,
  • your Boarding Deadline: the time at which you must proceed to boarding,
  • your Departure time: the time your aircraft pushes back from the gate before takeoff. You can view updated flight times (departures and arrivals) in real time on the “Flight times” page.

Check-In Deadline

Departures from countries other than metropolitan France

You can view your Check-In Deadline by selecting your departure airport (outside of metropolitan France) and destination from the drop-down menu below. For example: if you are departing from London-City, you can check in up to 15 minutes before your flight´s departure time.
