    As per the title, could anyone explain why you can only check in for a US flight with Aer Lingus from 24 hours before the flight but up to 30 days before for European flights? Is this down to a security issue or something?

    As far as I can see it's 30 Hours for EU flights and 24 Hours for U.S.

    Priority passengers can check in 30 DAYS in advance for certain routes.

    I read that here: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Aer_Lingus/checkin.php


    Give them a call if you want to triple check?

    It's no big deal, just wondering was there a specific reason. Given it's a flight to the states, there's a bit more in terms of other paperwork and I'd just like to have everything done and printed off well in advance.

    It's a security measure . You don't need to print off anything - all you need is your Passport which is linked to your visa or ESTA - whichever is applicable.

    You didn't quote the next sentence which says that you have to pay for a seat. Free check in with free seat allocation is available 30 hours before the flight.
