Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 60 minutes before domestic flights or 90 minutes before international flights. Passengers can check in via the Thai Airways website or the airline's mobile app without additional fees.

  1. Open www.thaiairways.com or the Thai Airways app 24 hours before departure
  2. Enter your booking reference and last name
  3. Select your seat and confirm baggage details
  4. Receive your digital boarding pass via email or app
  5. Proceed directly to baggage drop or boarding at the airport

Practical tip: Use self-bag drop facilities available from 48 hours to 90 minutes before departure to skip counter queues.

Can I check in at the airport instead?
Yes, traditional counter check-in is available, though online check-in is faster and recommended for both domestic and international flights.

Do I need to print my boarding pass?
No. Your mobile boarding pass from the app or email is sufficient for security and boarding, though some passengers prefer a printed copy as backup.
