Would the baggage drop off deadline be the same as online check-in, which is 90 minutes prior to departure, or is it different?
There is a chance I may not be able to get to the airport more than 90 minutes before the scheduled departure time, so I'm a bit worried about it.
I am flying in business class if that makes a difference.
Thank you-
I believe it was 60 min when I last flew in August. Could have changed now. I typically almost always check in with less than 90 mins remaining for departure. And at JFK, the check-in queues are so long that most of the times the check in continues post the 60 mins cutoff. Best would be to check with Emirates. Here is a link you may find useful:
