Quick check-in question...
 

For all of the experts out there in FlyerTalk land:

I have a trip coming up that is unique for me in terms of multiple segments and I had a question about the check-in process.

My trip is PHL-SFO-HNL. However, the PHL-SFO and SFO-HNL are split by an overnight. This is all under one confirmation number.

When I check in for PHL-SFO, will it allow me to check in the SFO-HNL as well or do I need to wait until literally 24 hours prior?

Thanks for any insight!

As long as its one reservation on one PNR, you can check in for both at the same time. I've done this before many times. If it is a separate PNR, you'll have to do a separate check-in.

you'll be able to check in for the entire itinerary when the checkin window opens. You didn't mention which airline, but I'm pretty sure they all operate this way for different segments on the same itinerary.

Thanks for the quick replies!

as long as you are w/i 24 hrs before the 2nd departure, you should be ok....note that there is a 3 hr time difference between phl & sfo....

posting the airline & flight times will help....
