Bulgaria Air offers online check-in to streamline your airport experience. Check-in typically opens 24 hours before departure and closes around 1–2 hours before flight departure, depending on route and destination.
Online check-in steps:
- Visit www.air.bg and navigate to the check-in section.
- Enter your booking reference and passenger surname.
- Select your flight and review passenger details.
- Choose or confirm your seat assignment (if available under your fare).
- Verify baggage declaration and any special requirements.
- Download or receive your boarding pass by email.
Practical tip: Complete online check-in early to avoid last-minute queues, especially on busy routes from Sofia, Burgas, or Varna.
Can I check in at the airport if I have already checked in online?
Yes. Online check-in does not prevent airport check-in. If you need to add baggage, modify your booking, or require assistance, airport counters remain available. Arrive at the airport according to standard guidelines (typically 2–3 hours for international flights).
What happens if I miss online check-in?
You can still check in at the airport counter. However, checking in online in advance ensures a smoother process and helps the airline manage capacity on your flight, particularly on busier routes.
