Online Check-in

 

What is the airline check-in process?
Check-in is the procedure that follows the confirmation of your flight reservation. It allows passengers to make special requests, purchase additional baggage and meals, select preferred seats, and ultimately obtain the boarding pass needed to board the flight.

What are the methods of performing check-in?
Check-in can be performed in the following ways:

  • At the airport: Either at the airline counter or using a self-service kiosk.
  • Online: Via the airline’s website or mobile application.

What are the benefits of online check-in?
Online check-in offers numerous advantages for passengers, airlines, and airport authorities:

  • For passengers: You can make requests, select seats, and add baggage without visiting the airport, thus avoiding long lines and reducing stress.
  • For airlines: It reduces the need to manage large queues and large numbers of people at the airport.
  • For airport authorities: It minimizes crowding and helps with better maintenance of airport facilities.

Is there any eligibility criteria for web check-in?
Certain passengers may not be eligible for online check-in and must report to the airline counter for document verification or to access special services. This includes:

  • Pregnant women
  • Unaccompanied minors
  • Disabled passengers
  • International travelers

Passengers with checked baggage can still check in online but must drop off their bags at designated counters at the airport before proceeding through security.

Are there any time deadlines or cut-off times for different methods of checking in?
Check-in deadlines vary by airline and airport. Airlines typically provide information on:

  • When you need to be at the check-in counter
  • The counter’s closing time
  • When to be at the boarding gate

Ensure you check the specific check-in times for both online and airport check-in.
