Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport Departures
Check-in & boarding cut-off times
When passengers check bags on their flights, they have to make sure that all of their checked luggage is processed, as well as a valid boarding pass is received no later than the required cut-off times to avoid rebooking on a later flight.
Travelers should also consider that these cut-off times will not ensure that they make it to the departure gate in time for boarding. Busy security lines, as well as heavy passenger traffic, may also require additional time.
When traveling with carry-on luggage, passengers must be checked in, with a valid boarding pass no later than the minimum cut-off times to avoid rebooking on a later flight.
Cut-off times are the same regardless of whether passengers are with or without bags.
When traveling internationally, the necessary cut-off time is one hour. In the case of domestic flights, the cut-off time of 40 minutes is enough.
