To ensure a smooth boarding process, please leave sufficient time for check-in, security check, immigration check, and/or customs procedure.
China Airlines' check-in counter working time and boarding preparation time differ in different airports. Generally, you are advised to check in two hours before the departure time listed on the flight timetable. However, the procedures are strict in some busy airports, for example, in the United States. Therefore, you may need to check in three hours in advance or even earlier. At a minimum, we recommend that you check in one hour before the scheduled departure time.
If you have special needs or considerations (for example, if you are an unaccompanied child or a passenger with a disability, hearing/visual impairment, block seat baggage, or wheelchairs), you are advised to check in two hours before the departure time listed on the flight timetable so that we have enough time to address your needs
Checking in on time is very important. Otherwise, your reserved seat may be canceled or you may be unable to board smoothly.
