International Flight Check-In

Passport information must be entered during online check-in for security and immigration purposes. If your destination requires specific immigration documents or extra verification, you may not be able to complete check-in online and must proceed to the airport counter.

Group & Family Check-In

You can check in online for a maximum of five passengers travelling on the same booking with the same itinerary. You will need the booking reference and passport details for all passengers.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. 1'Unable to check in online' - Often means your destination requires additional document checks or you have an exit row seat; proceed to the airport counter.
  2. 2'Cannot generate boarding pass' - Regulatory requirements may prevent digital passes; collect a printed one at the airport.
  3. 3'Error checking in' - Ensure your booking reference and last name match exactly, or clear your browser cache.

Pro Tips

Singapore Airlines offers an 'Auto check-in' feature that you can turn on at least 48 hours in advance to be checked in automatically. Also, if your first flight is operated by Scoot but you are transiting to a Singapore Airlines flight, you may still be eligible for online check-in via the SIA website.
