Some airports who does not have 45 minutes before departed flight.
As usual, I cannnot understand your post, at all, so ezcuse me if my answer does not address it correctly.
I quite clear on Alligeant's website that passengers should arrive twohours prior to departure, and that they must be checked in 45 (bag or no bag) no later than 45
minutes in advance of their flight. (See my earlier post)
Honestly, an airline could require you to arrive 12 hours early, and be checked in 11 hours beforehand, its upto the airline. Its also up to a passenger to read and be aware of policies before puchasing a ticket.
So...why does Alligeant cutoff checkin at 45 minutes?
Because the same agents that check you in also guide the inbound plane into the gate,, clean it, unload/load the baggage, and guide it back from the gate, etc. Alligeant runs with a slender staff at their outstations to save money. It appears they aerve this particular airport with a single flight two or three times a week, and thats it.
Also, without seeing some proof from a passenger (ie cellphone records/photo with timestamp, I must side with the Airline on this one.
