When check-in opens

Online check-in usually opens 24-48 hours before departure and closes 30-60 minutes before boarding. At the airport the check-in desks open 2-3 hours before departure and close 40-60 minutes before.

Online check-in

Via the airline's website or app you can choose a seat and get a boarding pass on your phone. It is free and saves time. For flights with baggage you still need to drop the suitcase at the desk.

Check-in at the airport

At the check-in desk, show your passport (for international flights - a passport and, if required, a visa). Low-cost carriers may charge for desk check-in - it is better to check in online.

Tip

Arrive at the airport early: for domestic flights 1.5-2 hours before, for international 2-3 hours before. Allow time for parking, security and passport control.
