In plain English
Flights have a time limit for finishing check-in. When that limit has already passed, the flight has the status "check-in closed," and passengers can no longer complete check-in.
In context
Here, it reports that the flight has reached the point where passengers can no longer complete check-in because the deadline has passed.
- Situation
- Checking in, passing airport steps, boarding, connections, and flight status
- What it communicates
- reports that passenger check-in is no longer available for the flight
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not say anything about the flight's departure time or any other travel arrangements.
Examples
“By the time Nina reached the counter, the board had her flight as check-in closed, and the agent could not complete her check-in.”
“After the deadline passed, the flight showed as check-in closed and the remaining passengers left the queue.”
