Online Check-In opened before my countdown said 30 days and 0 hours/midnight

I was going to wait until it struck “30 days, 0, 0”, but while preparing, I saw it was open at 11:07pm PST already! I would’ve been super late at midnight if I didn’t happen to check I wanted the earliest time at 10am-ish, but got 11:30am (still okay). Just very disappointed with the mixed messages about the opening time.

The countdown isn't very useful. It uses your local time zone rather than Eastern Standard/Daylight Time. It also counts down to midnight rather than your expected boarding time. I don't really know why it's there!

Yes, it's midnight eastern time when it opens. So mine opened at 10pm mountain time when we booked, it did not match the countdown on my app which was in mountain time.
