KLM from 30 hours before, will be at sea then, maybe possible when we get close to land.
Ryanair, surprise, from 60 days before, no problem.
Being old fashioned, I always thought "check in" was about confirming you're actually at the airport and will be on the flight, plus handing over your "checked" luggage.
What does a "check in" 60 days before you fly achieve that is not already achieved when you buy your ticket?
