How does online check-in work and when can I check in?

The online check-in for your flight generally works as follows:

Check-in time window: You can usually check in online 24 to 48 hours before the scheduled departure. The exact time frame may vary depending on the airline. Check your airline's website for precise information.

Access to check-in: Visit the airline's website or use their mobile app. Look for the "Online Check-in" or "Check-in" option.

Entering booking details: Enter your booking number and last name to retrieve your booking. You can find the booking number in your booking confirmation.

Seat selection: Choose your seat if you haven't already done so. Some airlines offer the option to select a preferred seat for a fee.

Confirmation and boarding pass: After completing the check-in, you will receive your boarding pass. You can print it out or save it on your mobile device.

Baggage drop-off: If you want to check in baggage, go to the airline's baggage drop-off counter at the airport. Show your boarding pass there.

Please note that the exact steps and options may vary depending on the airline. We recommend checking the specific instructions on the airline's website.
