Can I check in at the airport if I miss online check-in?
Yes, you can check in at the airport ticket counter or self-service kiosk, though this may result in longer wait times. Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before international departures.

No, a digital boarding pass stored on your phone or device is accepted at security and the gate for most Air Belgium flights. However, printing a backup copy is recommended as a precaution.
