Check-in
General Information About Check-in Procedures
The check-in process, carried out before a flight, is the procedure where the passenger confirms their participation in the flight and receives their boarding pass. This process saves time and helps reduce congestion at the airport. Check-in can be done in three different ways:
1. Online Check-in
Online check-in allows passengers to select their seats and obtain their boarding passes via the airline’s website or mobile app before the flight.
Advantages:
- Passengers can proceed directly to security control without waiting in line at the airport.
- No need for a printer thanks to mobile boarding passes.
- Very practical for passengers traveling with cabin baggage only.
When to Check-in?
Online check-in usually opens 24 to 48 hours before the flight and closes 60 to 90 minutes prior to departure.
For exact information, please contact your airline.
