Step-by-Step Check-In Guide

1. Visit airindia.com or open the Air India app and go to the 'Check-in' section. 2. Enter your Booking Reference (PNR) and last name. 3. Confirm passenger details and select your preferred seats. 4. Enter APIS information if traveling internationally. 5. Download or print your boarding pass (or confirmation slip for international flights).

Documents Needed

Booking Reference (PNR) or e-ticket number, last name, and passport/visa details (APIS) for international flights.

Seat Selection

Seat selection is available during online check-in. Preferred seats (front row, extra legroom) cost extra (e.g., $15-$99 USD depending on route), while standard seats in the rear section are free on a first-come, first-served basis.

International Check-In Rules

International passengers must enter Advance Passenger Information (APIS) during online check-in. They receive a confirmation slip instead of a boarding pass and must present it at dedicated airport counters for document verification to get their actual boarding pass.

Group Check-In

Up to 9 passengers can be checked in at a time using the website or app by adding the Booking Reference and last name to the 'Add Trip' tab. Group members may need to be checked in one at a time.

Troubleshooting

1. 'Unable to check in online' - Ensure your last name matches the booking exactly (try all caps, no spaces) and that you have a valid 6-digit PNR. 2. 'International flight check-in issue' - Online check-in is not available for codeshare flights or specific international connecting flights (AI 010-399, AI 900-999). 3. 'Name discrepancy' - Ensure the name on your frequent flyer account matches the booking name exactly.

Why Camli Finds Cheaper Flights

Camli is an IATA-accredited consolidator that purchases airline seats in bulk at wholesale rates. These fares are not published on metasearch engines like Google Flights or OTAs like Expedia. Our average fare is 47% below published prices across all tracked routes.

How Consolidator Fares Work

Airlines quietly distribute unsold inventory through consolidator networks to fill seats without publicly lowering prices. Camli surfaces these wholesale fares automatically, saving most travelers 40–70% on the same seats with official airline e-tickets.
