Jetstar offers online check-in to streamline airport arrival and reduce queuing at the terminal. Online check-in typically opens 24 hours before departure and closes 1 hour before flight departure for most routes.
Online check-in steps:
- Visit the Jetstar website or mobile app and navigate to the check-in section
- Enter your booking reference and passenger surname
- Review and confirm your passenger details and contact information
- Select your seat (if not already assigned) and confirm any ancillary services
- Obtain your electronic boarding pass via email or display it directly from the app
Practical tip: Check in as early as the 24-hour window opens, especially for popular routes, to secure preferred seat selections before they are allocated to other passengers.
What if I check in online but still need to check baggage at the airport?
Online check-in confirms your seat and passenger details. You still must visit the baggage drop counter at the airport to hand over checked luggage and receive a baggage receipt.
Can I check in at the airport counter instead of online?
Yes, airport check-in counters remain available at no additional charge. However, online check-in is faster and recommended to minimize airport time.
