How online check-in works
Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure via etihad.com or the mobile app and closes 60–90 minutes before flight time (60 minutes for domestic and most international flights; 90 minutes for certain international services). Arrival at the airport 3–4 hours early is recommended for international departures.
