Tip: Complete check-in immediately when the 48-hour window opens to secure preferred seating on long-haul flights. Baggage drop at the airport closes 60 minutes before international departures and 30 minutes before domestic flights, so arrive early if dropping bags in person.
Can I check in at the airport instead?
Yes. Standard airport check-in is available. However, online check-in is free and faster; airport check-in may incur fees on some routes. Baggage must be dropped within the airline's closing times (60 minutes international, 30 minutes domestic).
Is online check-in mandatory?
No, online check-in is optional. However, it is strongly recommended to ensure you meet baggage drop deadlines and secure your seat assignment, especially on crowded routes.
