What is CHECK-IN?
What is check-in, and why is it important?
Check-in is the first essential step for any air travel. It’s the process where you register for your flight, verify your documents (passport or ID card, and visa if required), and receive your boarding pass. The boarding pass allows you access to the security area and, later, onto the plane. For low-cost airlines, check-in is a mandatory procedure.
Online check-in vs. airport check-in
Check-in can be done either online or directly at the airport, but there are significant differences between these options:
- Online check-in: It’s fast, free, and helps you save time. It allows you to choose your seat on the plane, sometimes for an additional fee, and your boarding pass can be downloaded directly to your phone or printed.
- Airport check-in: This involves extra charges for low-cost airlines (20-50 EUR) and requires more time due to queues at the counter.
When can you do online check-in?
The availability period for online check-in depends on each airline's policy:
- If you choose a seat on the plane, online check-in may be done up to 30 days before the flight.
- If you don’t select a seat, the process becomes available 24-72 hours before departure.
Advantages of online check-in
Online check-in not only saves money but also offers greater flexibility:
- No additional charges: Unlike airport check-in, online check-in is free with most airlines.
- Save time: You avoid long queues at the airport.
- Choose your preferred seat: You can reserve a seat of your choice, depending on your preferences and budget.
