Phnom Penh checkin

Does anyone know if the checkin opens 2 or 3 hours before departure

i had assumed 3 until I read on another thread that at some places where they use the 737 they only open 2 hours before departure. Seem odd as usually for most international flights it is 3 hours or more

The airport is even that busy, that the departure monitors do not show the check-in desks long upfront.

Though you can ask at the airport information desk (between international and "domestic" departures. They know longer upfront which check-in desks will be assigned to MH, giving you the option to set camp to be the first to do check-in. Don't forget to ask, which desk is assigned J class, if that's relevant for you.

When you did do online check-in, there is a dedicated desk to drop-off your luggage. It's marked, though only in small writing. Usually, it's the J Desk.

This info is less than 5 weeks old.

Thanks, am flying business class

A bit of a pain was hoping to arrive early and kill time in the comfort of the lounge

And to add to the misery, if you have no luggage to check-in but have the mobile boarding pass or self-print boarding pass which MH offers via its website/ app; these are not acceptable by the airport authorities and you still need to get those actual physical paper boarding pass issued by the airline.

Not a problem. Do not have a mobile so can not check in on line
