    Flying out with etihad tomorrow morning.

    Flight supposed to go at 8.20.
    They've texted me to say rescheduled to 10.20.

    Does this mean check in is two hours later also???
    I.e. I can check in at 7.50 rather than 5.50??

    You can check in later, though EY check in should still be open at 06.00 if you arrive early.

    Im not saying it in a smart way but would you not try ring the airport handling agent and ask? Im nearly sure if its the airline rescheduling the flight time the check in time gets pushed back also, where as if its just a normal delay the normal check in time aplies, either way enjoy your flight

    Check-in for Etihad Airways flights opens 3 hours before departure. Once you have received the official rescheduled information you are okay to check-in later.

    I would do the online check-in with Etihad so that you have your seats selected and the plan for the 0750 to the airport.

    I'd go an hour later than they told you, the inbound from ABH isn't due in until 09.45 so you're looking at a departure after 11.00

    Yup checkin is later, I got a text from Aer Lingus telling my flight from New York was delayed by 2 hours because of late inbound aircraft, specifically so I didn't turn up hours and hours before.

    On my way to JFK I was going through all sorts of worst case scenarios in my head (like they hadn't meant checkin would begin later etc), but the checkin agent said one the delay has been communicated officially assume the checkin has been moved.
