Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. 1'Online check-in not working' - Check if it's available for your flight, if it's within the 72 to 3-hour window, or if you have special services booked. Take a screenshot of the error to avoid airport check-in fees.
  2. 2'Unable to generate boarding pass' - Some airports (like Pristina, Tirana, Faro, Jerez) do not accept mobile boarding passes. Airport staff will print it for free if you've completed online check-in.
