12.30 flight from manchester to borovets

Hi everyone,

Help!!

Im flying out from manchester tomorrow at 12:30 (Airtours) Air Astraeus.

Just checked my tickets and it says to check in no later than 3 hours before departure, I thought it would be just 2 hours before and have booked my tain to get me there 2 hours before.

Does anybody know wether 3 hours is correct. Tried to ring the tour operator nobody answering.

Thanks

Julie

Julie - can't speak for all tour operators but when we went to America we were told we had to be there 3 hrs before hand, we ran late and arrived about 2 hours before the flight and there wasn't any problem (put it this way there were people behind us in the queue!)

I wouldn't panic about it I think they just do it after 11/9 because of the increased security at larger airports.

Not sure if this helps...........

Not a problem they only close the flight 30 mins before departure.....the reason they ask for 3 hours(your right it used to be 2)....is to try to avoid delaying the take-off which can cost them dearly....
2 hours will give you bags of time to check-in and get to the duty free or bar

We flew from Mancs a couple of weeks ago, Balkan, and had to be there 3 hours before. We were early, but we were the ONLY ones there at first. We checked in, then went to park the cars. We got back about 2 hours before the flight and there were still people checking in.

We travelled on the same flight on Jan 10th from Manchester, you will have no problem with the 2 hr window you have set yourself
