I learned the importance of checking in early for a Horizon Air flight the hard way last spring. I was flying from Portland to Boise for a quick weekend trip and thought checking in an hour before departure would be enough—big mistake! Horizon Air recommends checking in at least 90 minutes before for domestic flights, especially if you’re checking bags. I arrived a little late and ended up watching my plane taxi away without me.
Since then, I always check in online as soon as the 24-hour window opens. It saves time at the airport, and you can even choose better seats early. On one trip, I needed to change my flight last minute due to weather, and calling 844-734-0813 was a lifesaver. Their team helped me rebook in minutes without any drama.
Now, I usually arrive at the airport two hours early just to avoid any last-minute chaos—especially during busy travel weekends. Trust me, getting there early and using the online check-in option makes your Horizon Air experience so much smoother. And if anything comes up—changes, cancellations, or questions—just call 844-734-0813. They’re surprisingly fast and super helpful!
