Advice on MAN check-in time?

[MichaelJP59]

Travelling from MAN T2 soon on Virgin to Orlando and wondered if anyone could help.

I'm used to flying long-haul frequently on my own and checking in as late as possible but for the first time I've got my 2 young kids with me.

I've been quoted 3 hours (!) check-in time, which is surely well on the safe side as seats are pre-booked and its a long time to keep a 2 year old amused before a long flight.

Thanks.

We did this route in Sept 2003 and, like you, I thought the quoted advisory check in 3 hours before was a bit off, especially with young kids and (in my case) no lounge access. We also had seats pre booked.

We turned up 1.5 hours before (earlier than I would normally, admittedly) and the check in desks were empty. We breezed right through, had time to do some shopping then board:D

Have a great time.....lucky bleeder
