Hi pygall.

Check in opens 4 hour prior to departure ( about 630am to 7am at LGW) .VS recommends 3 hours prior to dep ( min 2 hours otherwise your seat assignments may be lost)

Ah the 5 hour checkin. I saw an article in the Sunday Times. I think this is currently scaremongering and a press thought as to what may happen if the US authorities want more pax info prior to dep. As far as I know it has not taken effect yet.

There is also twilight checkin at LGW the night before ( up to 9pm I think)

PS What class are you travelling in? If in UC then you can probably afford to check in later.

Also Welcome to the forum:)

Regards

TBS
