United Airlines extends domestic flight check-in window, giving travelers more time

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. 

A TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital the agency continues to urge passengers to get REAL IDs or bring other acceptable forms of ID for travel. 

"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.
