Travelers flying on United Airlines will need to follow a new rule when it comes to checking in for their flights.
A United spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "Starting June 3, our check-in cutoff time for domestic flights will change to 45 minutes before departure."
Currently, the check-in cutoff time for domestic travel is 30 minutes, while international check-in times will remain unchanged at one hour.
On May 7, the REAL ID requirement took effect, requiring flyers to obtain the new identification with a star in the upper right corner in order to fly.

"Summer travel is upon us, and there is still time to get a REAL ID," said the spokesperson.
Those who do not have an acceptable form of ID may be subjected to further screening.
