Documents Required

Booking reference, email address or surname used for booking, and passport for international flights.

Seat Selection at Check-In

Standard seat selection is an optional extra for Starter fares, while other fares include different seat options. Fees apply for extra legroom, upfront, and standard seats. If not selected, seats are randomly assigned at check-in for free.

International Flight Check-In

Passport details are required. The Jetstar app offers mobile passport scanning for most international routes. If eligible for 'Straight to Gate' with no checked bags or visa requirements, you can skip the check-in counter. Mobile passport scanning is not available for flights to/from Vietnam or departing from Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Philippines.

Group & Family Check-In

Families can select seats together for a fee during booking or check-in. If seats are not selected, they are randomly assigned at check-in for free, but Jetstar attempts to seat families together and ensures young children are seated with a parent or guardian.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. 1'Can't check in online for domestic flight' - Check if your domestic flight departs from an international terminal, which requires airport check-in.
  2. 2'App check-in failed for international flight' - Mobile passport scanning is not available for flights to/from Vietnam or departing from Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Philippines.
  3. 3'Can't reprint boarding pass at kiosk in Japan' - On all flights departing from Japan, if you already checked in and selected your boarding pass, you cannot reprint it at a kiosk and must see a staff member.

Pro Tips

1. The Jetstar app features mobile passport scanning to instantly capture passport details for international check-in. 2. If flying domestic from an international terminal, you cannot use online check-in boarding passes directly; you must visit the check-in counter. 3. The Jetstar app allows booking Uber Reserve directly from the app for airport transfers.
