Check In button 3 days prior to departure
I was just doing the normal first Saturday check for schedule changes and noticed the bright red "Check In" button showed up for a domestic trip that starts early Tuesday morning.
I see the same on my iPhone, but when I activate the button I get a message saying it is too early and that I must try again Monday morning.
So it would appear DL IT has a minor issue.

Experienced the same thing on the app as well as main website last night. Was for a trip that was (at the time) 10 hours away from being check-in eligible. The same showed up for the return which was several days away. Of course it wouldn't let me when I attempted to do so.
And then when I woke this morning, I had 26 (yes, 26!) push notifications from the app wanting me to check in for my flight tomorrow!

My next trip is March 10, and have the "Check in Now" button. Of course, the app says that it can't find any trips eligible for check-in.

Maybe this is just the advent of advanced check-in like some European carriers do

Let's have a contest to see who has the latest flight with this glitch. I wonder whether it goes out to 330 days.
