When Does the Check-in Desk Open at HKT (Phuket)?
Hi All, I have searched & googled & cannot come up with a specific “X” hours prior to departure time. Can anyone offer a specific time please? Thanks.

There is no Phuket page on AB's website, but I imagine it would be similar to Bangkok:
http://www.airberlin.com/en/airport-bangkok
AIRBERLIN GROUP CHECK-IN
Opening 180 minutes before each departure.

OK, thanks for that but its not definitive & its a bit of an issue because getting the in-laws there too early (& with few facilities) is not ideal, as they are a bit aged!
BTW AB do not fly their own metal to BKK (to my knowledge) its an Etihad codeshare on Etihad metal. Unlike Phuket where its AB metal.
I don’t trust getting a phone agent (in HKT or EY-land) who will give a truly specific/accurate answer either

This page explicitly lists the check-in deadline at both BKK and HKT to be T-90. Even though HKT is a smaller and easier to navigate airport than BKK, there's no way they only have the counter open for 30 minutes to check in a 298 seat plane.

AB 7425 HKT-AUH is operated on AB metal.

My post already stated that HKT-AUH is on AB metal & therefore, I assume, AB rules apply to check-in opening times but this is Thailand, so who knows? LOL!
I have no interest in the check-in deadline timing. Moreover, I am trying (in vein
) to understand when-check-in-opens!
