Can I check in at the airport instead of online?
Yes. Airport check-in is available at the airline counter. However, online check-in is faster and avoids queues, especially during peak travel periods.
What if I need to add baggage after I've checked in online?
If you have not yet checked in a bag at the counter or kiosk, you can add baggage at self-service kiosks or the baggage counter. Additional baggage fees apply if not prepaid during booking.
