Cape Air offers online check-in opening 24 hours before departure (some sources indicate 48 hours on certain routes). However, the airline requires mandatory in-person check-in at the airport, which must be completed at least 30 minutes before domestic flights and 90 minutes before international flights. Online check-in does not replace this requirement.

  1. Visit www.flycapeair.com and select the online check-in option 24 hours before your flight.
  2. Enter your booking reference and passenger details.
  3. Complete the online check-in process to receive your confirmation.
  4. Proceed to the airport gate or check-in counter at least 30 minutes before departure for domestic flights (90 minutes for international).
  5. Present yourself to a Cape Air agent for mandatory in-person recheck to weigh carry-on baggage and finalize check-in.

Practical tip: Arrive at the airport with extra time; the mandatory in-person recheck means online check-in is primarily a pre-registration step rather than a complete check-in alternative.

Who cannot use online check-in?
Online check-in is not available for unaccompanied minors, customers traveling with pets, or passengers holding paper tickets. These passengers must complete check-in entirely at the airport.
What time should I arrive at the airport?
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before domestic flights and 90 minutes before international flights to allow time for the mandatory in-person recheck with a Cape Air agent.
