How online check-in works
Online check-in is free and opens 23–48 hours before departure (timing varies by route). It closes 2 hours before your flight. Check-in is available for most domestic and international flights, though it is not available if you are traveling with an infant, as an unaccompanied child, or if you require special services.
Steps to check in online:
- Visit www.hnair.com or use the Hainan Airlines mobile app.
- Enter your booking reference and last name to access your reservation.
- Review passenger details and select seats (if applicable to your fare).
- Accept baggage declaration and any special conditions.
- Download or screenshot your boarding pass.
- Retrieve a printed boarding pass at the airport counter if required by your airport or airline.
Practical tip: Complete online check-in as early as possible within the window to secure preferred seat choices and avoid last-minute queues at the airport.
