What time is check-in?
'Check-in' is used in Italian as in English: 'CHEK-in'.
Ask at the airport or call the airline to confirm the check-in window for your flight — crucial for budget airline strict timing.
'A che ora è' means 'what time is'. 'Check-in' is used as-is from English. Italian airports have standard check-in windows (typically 2–3 hours before departure for international, 1–2 hours for domestic).
