Flight details

Important information

Please ensure the names on your travel documents match those on your passports. If you need to make changes, please read ‘How do I amend my personal details?’ or get in touch with us. 

Incorrect name details could result in the airline denying boarding, as security checks are usually conducted 24-48 hours before departure. You should also ensure that your passport details are entered into My P&O Cruises to avoid any delays at check-in.

Charter flight check-in

  • Check-in for our charter flights is available at the airport on the day of departure.
  • Even if the airline usually offers this service, you cannot check in your baggage the night before you travel on any of our charter flights.
  • In the UK, check-in opens approximately three hours before flight departure and closes approximately one hour before departure.
  • Please be aware that even if you have pre-booked your seats using our Flight Seat Booker tool on My P&O Cruises, you must still check in at the airport.

Scheduled flight check-in

  • Check-in times vary by airline; we recommend you check on the airline's website before travelling for up to date information. 
  • Depending on the airline, you can check in online for your flight. This would typically open around 24 hours before departure, but some airlines may open this earlier. 
  • Your flight details are on your Flight Confirmation and on My P&O Cruises.
