Passengers flying with United Airlines from Indian airports (including Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai) have several convenient check-in options. To ensure a smooth journey, it is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights.

Online and Mobile Check-in

United Airlines offers online and mobile app check-in starting 24 hours prior to departure. Passengers can choose seats, purchase additional baggage, and obtain a digital boarding pass—helping streamline the airport experience and save time.

Airport Check-in Counters


For passengers choosing to check in at the airport, United’s staffed counters generally open 3 hours prior to scheduled departure and close 1 hour before the flight. Completing check-in and baggage drop early is recommended to avoid delays, particularly during peak travel times.

Self-Service Kiosks

Several major Indian airports provide self-service kiosks for check-in and bag tag printing. These are especially convenient for passengers who have completed online check-in but still need to drop off their baggage.

Required Documents

Make sure to carry a valid passport, visa (if required), and any other essential travel documents, including proof of entry permits, as per your destination’s entry regulations.

Baggage Drop and Security

Once checked in, proceed to the baggage drop counter (if needed), then clear security and immigration. Boarding usually starts about 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
