Availability varies by airport-it is offered for domestic flights at designated airports and for selected international flights.
Steps to check in online:
- Visit ceair.com at least 2 hours and no more than 48 hours before your scheduled departure
- Enter your booking reference and passenger name
- Review flight details and select your seat if not yet assigned
- Generate and download your boarding pass
- Arrive at the airport early for baggage drop-off if you have checked luggage
Practical tip: Even with online check-in, arrive 2–3 hours before international departure to allow time for baggage handling and security screening.
