Check in
Get ready for your journey while you’re still at home. Find out whether you can check in online from home, if your airline has automated machines at the airport for bag tags and whether you can check in your baggage using the bag drop. Plan the start of your journey as much as possible so that you have time for the different processes once you get to the airport. We’ve provided a few useful tips for better check-in below.
Check-in options
1. Check in online ahead of time
Many airlines offer online check-in, which opens 24-48 hours before departure. In that case, not only can you check in ahead of time – you can also choose your favourite seat or make other changes. If it’s possible to check in online, that is usually preferable. Some airlines charge extra if you check in at the airport. You can see here whether your airline offers online check-in.
Will you check in baggage?Â
- If you’re checking in baggage, make sure you’re at the counter when check-in opens.
- Go to an automated check-in machine in the departure hall so you can print your bag tags. Check out this video to see how you attach your bag tag.
- Then drop your bag at the bag drop counter. How you use the bag drop.
Are you travelling only with hand baggage?
If you’ve already checked in, have your boarding card and only have hand baggage, you can go straight to the security checkpoint. Read more here about how you get ready for security screening.

3. Check in at the counter
When you check in at a counter, you need to have the following ready:Â
Travel documents – check with your airline to see what is required for your trip.
Passport /ID – When you travel abroad, you must be able to confirm your identity using a passport or national ID card. Keep in mind that some countries also require a visa. If you are flying domestically, you do not need a passport or national ID card. Passports, visas and IDs.Â
The airlines have different recommendations for when you need to check in. So contact your airline to see what applies for your flight.
