Online check-in is a service that replaces the standard check-in at the airport and saves a lot of time and effort. It is available for most flights on almost all airlines.
✔ Online check-in starts 24 hours before departure (for some airlines earlier) and ends 3-4 hours before departure.
✔ The service allows you to select a seat on an airplane before those who sign up at the airport.
✔ If you print out your boarding pass in advance, you can go straight to the airport for inspection and boarding without going to the check-in counter.
If you are traveling with baggage, you must drop it off at the same counter while check-in is in progress or use a special drop-off or bag drop counter. Check-in and baggage drop-off ends 40-60 minutes before departure.
If you have purchased the “Online check-in” service from Kupi.com, you do not need to check-in yourself, study the airline’s website and our instructions. In the last 24 hours before departure airport you will receive an email with boarding passes, which you can print on any printer or get at the airport counter.
Instructions on how to self check-in online
1. 24 hours before departure, go to the website of the airline that operates your flight. Find the online check-in service.
2. Enter the “Booking number” from your itinerary receipt, as well as other requested parameters. It is often necessary to enter the passenger’s surname in Latin letters, without first name.
When your booking opens, you may be asked to enter additional parameters, such as visa details (for international flights) or confirmation that you are familiar with the list of dangerous items prohibited in carry-on baggage. Carefully review all the information and do not rush to close the pop-up windows.
4. Select a seat in the cabin according to the scheme. For some airlines, seat selection is available only for an additional fee; other airlines assign your seat automatically but allow you to change it.
5. Save your selection. If the selected seat requires payment, follow the system tips to make the payment.
6. After saving (and payment if required) your selected seat, you will be prompted to download a boarding pass. If possible, print it out before you go to the airport. No special paper is needed, just an A4 sheet and a printer, color or black and white.
7. If you were not able to print your boarding pass in advance, you must get it at the airport. To do this, contact the check-in counter of your flight at least 40 minutes before departure (before check-in is ended). You can also use a self check-in terminal with your airline’s logo (but not all airlines have them).
