Chengdu Airlines offers online check-in for most flights, typically opening 24 hours before departure. Online check-in reduces queue times at the airport and allows you to select seats in advance when permitted by your fare type.

- Enter your booking reference (confirmation code) and passenger name.
- Select your flight and review flight details.
- Choose your seat if seat selection is included with your fare.

Practical tip: Check in exactly 24 hours before departure to secure the best available seat selection. Some fares may have restricted seat choices; verify this before booking.
What documents do I need for check-in?
You must provide a valid passport or national ID (for domestic flights within China). Ensure all passenger names match exactly with government-issued identification. Have your booking reference and contact information ready.
Can I check in at the airport if I miss online check-in?
Yes. Airport check-in counters are available, though arriving early (typically 2–3 hours before departure for domestic flights) is recommended to avoid long queues and ensure timely boarding.
