Documents Required

Booking reference (6-character PNR), valid passport (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond travel date), visa if required, and APIS information (passport number, country of issue, citizenship, date of birth, sex, expiry date).

Seat Selection at Check-In

Seat selection is free for Fully Flex Fare, Business Class, and Platinum members. For international Economy, standard seats cost $10-$20, while exit row seats cost $35-$79 depending on the route and aircraft type. Starting 48 hours before departure, seats are randomly assigned during auto check-in, and changing an assigned seat may incur a fee.

International Flight Check-In

Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) data is mandatory for many international destinations. You must provide passport details, nationality, and contact information during online check-in. Failure to provide this may result in denied boarding.

Group & Family Check-In

Group check-in is available for reservations of 10 or more passengers, but passports must be verified. At the airport, there are dedicated Group Check-in counters (e.g., LH counters 440-444 at some locations).

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. 1'Unable to print boarding pass' - Some airports (like JFK, IAD, YYZ) prohibit self-printed tags/passes; you must visit the counter.
  2. 2'Booking not found' - Ensure you are using the correct 6-character PNR and last name.
  3. 3'Check-in unavailable' - Online check-in is not supported from certain airports like Erbil or Baghdad, or for codeshare flights operated by other airlines.

Pro Tips

1. EgyptAir conducts an 'automated check-in' 48 hours before departure, sending the boarding pass to your email if you have a confirmed booking. 2. At Kuwait Airport (KWI), paper boarding passes and kiosk-issued passes are not accepted; you must report to the counter. 3. Passengers departing from Germany are specifically requested to sign their passport before check-in.
