What time does the plane start boarding?

About thirty minutes before departure.

The most common thing is to board the plane half an hour in advance. This kind of situation is usually boarding at the covered bridge. About 15 minutes, the plane will be shut down 10- 15 minutes before take-off, and then start taxiing to the runway, waiting for the take-off notice.

Large airports, especially those that need a long taxiway from the covered bridge to the runway, such as Capital Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao and Pudong Airport, for such large airports, individual flights will start boarding 45 minutes in advance and then close 15 minutes in advance. The covered bridges of different flights are different, and flights far from the runway will board earlier.

When we buy air tickets, we often see two indicators, punctuality rate and covered bridge rate. The punctuality rate is easy to understand and represents the punctuality data of the aircraft. The covered bridge rate is related to the shuttle bus. When we board or disembark, we have to take the airport shuttle bus, which will reduce the rate of covered bridges, that is, the plane stops directly at the mouth of covered bridges and passengers can board the plane directly from the boarding gate.

How to know the flight check-in time

1, get SMS:

When we successfully buy the ticket, the airline will send us the flight dynamics in time, including the start check-in time, check-in counter, start boarding time and other information. These are the contact mobile phone numbers filled in when the SMS is sent to us to buy tickets. We should check them in time, which is a passive way to obtain flight information.

2. Self-service check-in method:

It's just a more active way, that is, we can check the real-time flight information through the online self-service check-in machine, so as to plan our itinerary reasonably. Some airports have introduced self-service baggage check-in procedures so that we can use electronic boarding passes and avoid waiting in line.

3. Customer service consultation methods:

Every airport has its own customer service hotline. We can call at any time and then ask the customer service staff about our flight information, including boarding time, boarding gate, check-in counter location, special difficulties, or ask the airport for help.
