Creator's Key Takeaways

Your check-in time is when you're allowed to check into the terminal, when they're going to let you in and check in at those kiosk.

Your boarding time is when this opens up and you can go upstairs.

Now, that almost never happens before 10:45.

If you don't want that, make sure you show up after 10:45, 11:00.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't confuse boarding time versus check-in time.
