How do I know if online check-in is available for my flight?
Most airlines allow their passengers to check online for a flight online. That means you need to visit the airline side and check-in for a flight there.
When does online check-in open?
Check-in for flights online generally opens 48 hours before the flight and closes two hours before departure.
Online check-in requires you to have with you:
- passport (which must me valid for a minimum of 6 months after the start of the journey)
- reservation code
- electronic airline ticket number
If the airline does not allow you to check-in at the moment you want to be notified on the page:
- when the online flight check-in opens
- if this option is not available it will say that you have to check at the airport
Check-in for low cost companies
Almost all airlines require an online flight registration. Free check-in opens 48 h to 36 h before the start of the trip and closes 2 h before departure.
If you fly a RyanAir airline and do not have a European Union passport, pay attention. When you complete your online flight application, you will receive an e-mail boarding ticket that you will need to print. If you want to check before the deadline, it is necessary to make an additional payment. the company calls this a priority boarding and seat purchase.
On the other hand, Wizz Air allows you to have your billing tickets stored on your phone, but there are destinations that cannot be logged in online at all. In this case, check at the airport.
