Documents Needed

Valid passport or national ID, booking reference (PNR), travel visas and health documents if applicable, and the credit card used for booking (if requested).

Seat Selection

Seat selection is available during online check-in. Some standard seats that previously required a fee may become available for free selection starting 48 hours prior to departure. Extra legroom and preferred seats carry a charge.

International Check-In Rules

Passport and visa details are required. Certain countries mandate airlines to grant access to Law Enforcement Agencies for passenger information and data (APIS). Travel documents may require verification at the airport, in which case online check-in might direct you to the counter.

Group Check-In

For group bookings (10+ passengers), the primary passenger can use the master PNR to check in online for the group. Individual passengers within a group can also check in separately using their own PNR. Groups should arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for counter processing.

Troubleshooting

1. 'Unable to check in online' - May occur if the flight is operated by a partner airline (codeshare) or if travel documents require manual verification at the airport. 2. 'Booking reference not found' - Ensure you are using the correct 6-character PNR or try your frequent flyer number. 3. 'Special service request' - If you requested a wheelchair or unaccompanied minor service, you must check in at the airport counter.
