US domestic flights: cutoff time

Upvote:8

There is no government regulation of this nature. Airlines set their own policies. For instance, United says:

For flights within the U.S., all customers must be on board the aircraft 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. We recommend being at the boarding gate at least 15 minutes before departure to ensure that you’re on the aircraft before the doors are closed.

If you arrive at the gate after the cut-off time, you may find your seat has already been given to a standby passenger or that it is simply too late to board. They may also be able to accommodate you anyway. But it's a matter of airline policy, not law.
