Online check-in opens 24 hours before your scheduled departure and closes 30–45 minutes before departure. This allows you to select seats, confirm baggage, and obtain a digital or printable boarding pass at your convenience.

  1. Visit the booking airline's website (Delta, United, American, or Alaska, depending on which partner operates your flight) or the Skywest website
  2. Enter your confirmation number and last name
  3. Review flight details and select seats if applicable
  4. Declare any checked baggage
  5. Obtain your boarding pass (digital or printable)

Tip: Check in online as soon as the 24-hour window opens if you prefer specific seat assignments, especially on regional aircraft where premium seating is limited.

When should I check in at the airport instead of online?
Check in at the airport if you are checking baggage and prefer to have it tagged by staff, if you need to make changes to your reservation on the day of travel, or if you experience technical difficulties with online check-in. Airport check-in counters open 2–3 hours before departure and close 30–45 minutes before departure.
Are there check-in fees?
No check-in fees are mentioned. However, excess baggage fees apply for bags over 100 lbs or 80 linear inches, depending on your ticket type and route.
