How online check-in works
Online check-in is available through www.ceair.com, typically opening 24 hours before departure and closing 90 minutes before domestic flights or 2 hours before international flights. This service allows you to select seats, manage baggage information, and receive your boarding pass digitally.
Steps to check in online:
- Visit www.ceair.com and navigate to the check-in section.
- Enter your booking reference and last name.
- Review and confirm your flight details and passenger information.
- Select your seat if not already assigned.
- Add any baggage information or special service requests.
- Complete the process and download or save your boarding pass.
Practical tip: Check in as early as possible to secure preferred seat selections, especially on popular routes. If you have checked baggage or special requests, allow extra time for the process or visit a ticket counter.
