Hello All

I will be flying PE VS015 LGW-MCO on 30/09/2008 at 12.45 lunchtime (if there are no delays - wishful thinking ?)

Does the online checkin open the day before at exactly 12.45 or is it earlier/later ?

thanks[y]

paul

In theory it is 24 hours but not sure how exactly 24 hours it is - if that makes sense.

It's usually within a few minutes of the 24 hour window.

Geek that I am, I'm pretty sure that from my direct experience it's T-23:59:00.

Im glad somebody else asked this question, I have been wondering the same thing myself, but didnt want to ask ''when does 24hr check in open?'' the same way that people in Disney ask ''what time does the 3'oclock parade start? '' [:I][:D]

So, now that the question is out there......Can we just clarify if its exactly 24hrs before your flight takes off, or midnight of the day that your flight takes off, or midnight the day before your flight takes of.....as you can see, Im still confused [:I] (whats new? lol)

For your MBJ VS flight, OLCI will open at 09:16 17/04/09 i.e. 23hr 59mins before your flight departs.

The only 2 remaining VS destinations where you can't check-in online for departing flights back to the UK are Grenada and Tobago (I think they do offer the check-in and chill out service though)

You can also check if the flight is open by using the departure looking board they now have on the OLCI page. You can't see it on the homepage so click on Online Check in link in the shortcuts section.
