Airport Check-In Boston
We are flying to Dublin from Boston and wondering what time airport check-in is opening these days.
It appears online check-in isn't available. The flight appears sold out.
Does anyone know if its likely oversold and how EI handle? Do they run a volunteer list etc?
Thanks!

1. EI doesn't overbook (thats the claim), traffic levels have increased significantly in recent weeks as Europe accepts US citizens with vaccination/PCR test documentation without restriction. More likely to get a lot of no shows or rejects. Second flight to BOS is starting up shortly
2. Extra checks at the airport to ensure everyone has the right paperwork, online check in has been suspended for flights to the US for some time, so I'd assume similar now on the eastbound.
3. If you ticket was not purchased on aerlingus.com, i.e was sold via a travel agent or other airline or via a frequent flyer redemption then online check in can be a problem,
