London City Airport is committed to processing passengers as quickly as possible. To help with security clearance passengers are requested to keep cabin baggage to a minimum. We recommend you allow 45 minutes during this time of heightened security. We appreciate your understanding.
BA passengers travelling to New York can check-in, with hand luggage, 15 minutes before the flight is due to depart. For all other passengers your airline will be able to confirm latest check-in times.

Check-in desks are located on the ground floor of the terminal concourse, on the right hand side as you enter.
