*allegedly :30 minutes, but more typically whenever the gate agent “takes control” ~1:00 out; prob longer for international
I always thought this was a no-no, so I went on DNet to look. Which explains how to change your check in code after checking in and cutoff to do so. I do think it’s in bad form when 3 pilots are standing there trying to nonrev home, and last minute the jr guy throws down the S2 and takes the last seat. I never use my S2s anyway, not sure why I hold onto them and don’t use to commute home…… guess I learned something today.
