Kulula.com offers online check-in to streamline airport arrival and boarding. Passengers can check in via the airline's website or mobile app starting 24 hours before departure. Online check-in reduces airport waiting times and allows you to select seats and print or download your boarding pass before arrival.
Online check-in steps:
- Visit kulula.com or use the mobile app
- Enter your booking reference and passenger name
- Review flight details and select or confirm your seat
- Download or print your boarding pass
- Proceed directly to the baggage drop (if checking bags) or security screening
Practical tip: Complete online check-in as soon as the 24-hour window opens, especially on busy routes, to secure preferred seat locations.
Can I check in at the airport if I don't have online access?
Yes. Traditional counter check-in remains available at O. R. Tambo and other airports. Arrive at the airport with sufficient time before departure-typically 2 hours for domestic flights. Note that online check-in is faster and recommended when possible.
What happens if I miss online check-in?
You can still check in at the airport counter, but arriving early is important to allow time for manual processing. Online check-in saves time, so plan ahead when possible.
