Can I check:
- Check in is a verb, e.g. You need to check in at the front desk; or John checked in for his flight 90 minutes before departure.
- Check-in is a noun, e.g. Check-in can be completed in the Executive Lounge; or Check-in closes 30 minutes before scheduled departure if you do not have any bags to check in.
- Checkin is just incorrect

This Sydney Morning Herald had a few suggestions AFFers might disagree with

But this caught my eye especially in the Travel section

Overrated – airline loyalty points; is there any point to points? Underrated – airline food; if you find it bad, you’re flying with the wrong airline.
