Select the passenger(s) and flight(s) you wish to check in. 4. Choose your seat (standard seats are free; extra-legroom may incur a fee). 5. Finalise check-in to download, print, or save your boarding pass to your device. 6. If you have checked baggage, proceed to the baggage drop counter no later than 60 minutes before departure.

Documents Needed

Booking reference (PNR) or e-ticket number, surname, valid passport or photo ID (especially for international/ASEAN flights). At the airport: mobile or printed boarding pass, valid ID or passport, and any additional docs required for infants, special assistance, or pets.

Seat Selection

Standard seats are free during check-in; extra-legroom seats may incur a fee. Starting Oct 2025, complimentary seat selection is available on Economy Value fares between Japan and Malaysia.

International Check-In Rules

Valid passport required. For international flights, aim to be at the airport 2 hours before departure. Passport and visa details must be in order at the check-in desk, even if entered via APIS online. Counter check-in may be required for certain ASEAN flights.

Group Check-In

Baggage will be checked-in individually as per the allowance per pax for International flight (30kg) and Domestic flight (20kg). Group bookings can be managed via the MHgroupbooking portal.

Troubleshooting

1. 'Unable to check in online' - May require counter check-in for infants alone, passengers with pets, special needs, or certain ASEAN flights. 2. 'Session conflicts' - Clear browser cache or use incognito mode. 3. 'In-app check-in issues' - If the app fails, try the website or use airport self-service kiosks. 4. 'Boarding pass not issued' - Common for international flights where document verification is required at the counter.

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
