When do LHR check in desks open?
Hi all,

I’m travelling from LHR next month on the 9.10am flight. Can anyone advise when the check in desks open? I’m not sure whether it’s 3 or 4 hours prior to the flight (& don’t want to be hanging around waiting for check in to open but do want to maximise my time in the lounge).

Thanks

Thanks for the response. I have checked on my ticket (apologies, should have done that before I posted) and it states check in time is 5.10am so it looks like it’s 4 hours for that particular flight.

As it an A380, it will be four hours before departure
