go directly to registration

Purchased tickets through the website - do not forget to register online! This procedure has made life easier for hundreds of thousands of passengers who frequently fly by air. Its advantage is not limited to one point.

Pros of online check-in

Anyone who has ever flown by air knows that you need to arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before departure, stand for a long time, waiting for your turn to check in. After checking in, you will receive a boarding pass, which indicates your seat on the plane, and it is unlikely that you will be given the opportunity to choose this seat yourself. Online check-in will save you from these problems, namely:

• You do not need to stand in line, you check in for the flight at home, via the Internet, sitting at your favorite computer (or from a tablet, mobile phone, etc.);
• You no longer need to arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before departure, but only an hour to check in your luggage, because you are already on the list of passengers on board. If you are flying without luggage and carry-on luggage, then you can arrive even later, by the beginning of boarding the plane and go straight to the boarding gate;
• You have the opportunity to independently choose a seat on the plane and do it in advance, before other passengers take good seats. The fact is that a bad seat on the plane can pretty much ruin your flight experience, so this issue should be treated responsibly. Especially for you, we have created a section on the site where you can familiarize yourself with the seating diagrams of various aircraft.

Online check-in is especially relevant when you are late for the plane and do not have time for the “real” check-in. You can check in online using mobile internet on your way to the airport. As a rule, the end time is 45-60 minutes before departure, that is, before the end of the general check-in.

Online check-in is encouraged by all airlines, some even require passengers to check-in online, making the traditional check-in at the airport a fee. Online check-in saves airlines costs.

Many people do not even know that such registration is possible. With its help, you can make your flight much more comfortable.

How to register online yourself?

It couldn't be easier. Online check-in usually starts 24 hours before departure, but different airlines vary. For some airlines, check-in opens 15 days before departure; it happens that check-in is open immediately after purchasing a ticket. This is usually done by airlines with the same type of air fleet. You have the name of the carrier on your ticket. Below, under this article, you will find links to online check-in for various airlines. Select the relevant airline and follow the link.

Next, prepare your passport or other document on which you are going to fly. We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with the article Required documents for a flight by plane. Carefully fill in the required fields, select a seat on the plane. Sometimes some of the superior seats are available for an additional fee. You may also be offered additional options, such as choosing meals or upgrading your ticket to Business Class.

Done: after completing all the steps, you will see a message about successful online registration. A confirmation and boarding pass will be sent to your email address. It is he who will need to be printed and have with you in paper form, because without it you will not be allowed to board.

One of the online check-in options is mobile check-in. Some airlines have a special mobile application for passenger check-in. If you often fly with this airline, then this opportunity is very convenient. You only need to download and install the application on your mobile device once. It will be very easy to register later.

So, you've checked in and received your boarding pass. It must be printed out. There are several ways. The most convenient thing is to print at home (at work or anywhere) on a regular printer. If this is not possible, then it can be done at regular check-in kiosks located at the airport. Passengers check in at these kiosks on their own, but since you have already passed it, you can go up, enter your data at the terminal and print out your boarding pass. Of course, not every airline supports this feature. Eventually, you can go to the regular check-in counter and get your boarding pass. Some airports have terminals for printing boarding passes. If you have the airline's mobile application installed, then after registering you will be given a QR code. You need to go to such a terminal, attach a phone with this code, and the terminal will issue a boarding pass.

The boarding pass contains the boarding time, gate and other information.

Don't forget: even if you check in on your own, you still need to check in your baggage (if you have one). For this, as a rule, there are Drop Off counters, near which an airport employee stands. These are separate counters for baggage clearance of those passengers who independently checked in for the flight. As you may have guessed, there will be a much smaller queue than at the regular check-in counter. Some airports have more modern and automated baggage acceptance systems that allow you to check in your baggage on your own: you put your baggage, bring your boarding pass to a special sensor, it identifies you and your flight, if everything is correct, the machine issues a baggage tag that must be glued to the suitcase ... If you have excess baggage, you can pay for the excess with your bank card.

You might think that this is all complicated and not reliable. Nothing like this. All these innovations are specially designed to simplify pre-flight procedures as much as possible. If for some reason you cannot or do not want to check in your baggage using the above methods, then there is always an "old and good" way: go to the regular check-in counter and check in your baggage there. Tell the employee that you checked in on your own and you only need to check in your luggage, most likely your luggage will be accepted out of line.

You can check in your baggage no later than before the end of general check-in for the flight (that is, usually no later than 40 minutes before departure). If you are flying without luggage or carry-on luggage, then you just have to go to boarding.

We wish you pleasant flights and easy ticket purchases along with the site!

Some additional requirements are set by the countries themselves to which travelers want to fly. It takes more time to prepare and verify all regulations.

What if I'm late?

Procedure in different situations:

Situation	Actions
Late for check-in before the plane's departure	Many airports have latecomers desks. They can register for an additional fee. But if there is very little time left before departure, then they have the right to refuse
We checked in, but didn't make it to boarding.	You need to contact the airport staff and explain the situation. There is a chance that the person will still be imprisoned, but he is small
Late for check-in and plane	If a business class ticket or it is purchased for round-trip flights, then there is a possibility that the company representatives will be able to put a person on the next flight. But only if there are free places on it. If the ticket is purchased at the airport, then you need to contact the employees. If purchased through agencies, then you need to contact them already
Missed your connecting flight through no fault of your own	If the airline is to blame, then it is obliged to provide: a flight on the next flight without surcharges, free calls, a hotel room, water and food. But this only applies if the tickets were purchased for a transit flight. If not, then the airline is not responsible

Missed plane flight

Checking in for an airplane flight is a troublesome business. But if you know all the features, then the flight will pass without problems and wasted nerves.

Everything is easy and simple, and for this it is best to read our photo instructions.
Step 1 - we must have an air ticket (if purchased or a printout of an electronic ticket), a valid international passport (with a visa, if required by the state of your arrival or transit).

Your belongings are packed in a suitcase and separately in a bag that you will take with you as carry-on luggage. In advance, you have already specified the allowed baggage allowance (weight and number of bags), which can be carried free of charge, and if there are more things, then you have a postponed amount or replenished a card in case of an excess payment.

Copies of all your documents, necessary phone numbers are packed in your luggage or uploaded to your e-mail for insurance against loss - it is easy to restore if you have copies of the originals

Step 2 - arrive at the airport at least one hour before departure. The larger the airport of departure and the less your knowledge of a foreign language, the earlier it is better to leave home.

If you are not familiar with the structure of the airport, it is better to arrive in advance so that in a calm atmosphere, in a couple of extra hours, figure out where you should go. At large airports, the distance between terminals is very large and the connection between them is by bus, this must always be taken into account.

Check-in starts two hours before and ends 1 hour or 40 minutes before departure. Sometimes you can check in a few minutes before departure, if the airport has special counters for late check-in, but in this case, you will have to pay a late penalty.

Attention! The date of departure and the time of departure of the aircraft are always indicated on the ticket according to local time.
Step 3 - at the airport, find an information board (large screen) on which you find your airline, flight number, city of arrival and counter number to which you need to go to check in.

Step 4 - go to the counter - present your ticket, passport and your belongings. For your peace of mind, you can remove your favorite suitcase on your mobile phone.

The luggage will be weighed, customs inspection will be carried out, a luggage tag will be hung on it, a tear-off coupon will be given to you, and the luggage will be sent along a transport belt to the loaders. You will no longer have access to your luggage. The carry-on baggage will be weighed, tagged and given to you.

She will fly with you above your seat in the aircraft cabin or under the seat in front of the passenger. Some airlines very strictly monitor compliance with the size of hand luggage (55x40x20) and impose a fine if exceeded.

After all this, you will be given a boarding pass. The coupon indicates your seat in the aircraft cabin (you have the right to express your wishes when choosing a seat) and the main gate number GATE (translated from English as a passage, exit) from which you will be taken to the aircraft cabin. That's it - registration was successful!

Step 5 - After that, you go through passport control (showing your passport, boarding pass) and go to the waiting area with duty-free shops. You relax, admire the runway, make gifts for yourself, your loved ones and wait for the announcement on the loudspeaker to board the plane.

After the boarding announcement, go to the gate number indicated on your boarding ticket and set off on your journey. You can yourself, without waiting for the announcement, go to the desired exit (gate), boarding the plane begins after the end of check-in.

In exceptional cases, the gate / exit number for your flight is changed (it will be different from the one recorded on the boarding pass), so always pay attention to the announcements over the speakerphone or follow the changes to your flight on the monitors in the departure area.

Preflight inspection of baggage on flights to the USA, Israel and conflict zones takes several hours, due to the complete and thorough examination of all passengers' belongings.

Typically, airports are always busy, and the larger ones can be crowded. The flow of tourists in large air terminals does not stop. Often, security measures can also be quite intimidating for many arrivals. This article will familiarize travelers with the airport check-in rules and how long it takes to check-in for a plane.

The passenger must complete several steps to check in for the flight:

• arrive on time at the airfield;
• check in luggage;
• go through customs and go to the departure hall;
• get your boarding pass;
• go through passport control.

All airlines require their passengers to check in ahead of time before flying. Check-in for a flight can be done in one of three ways:

• Online via the Internet on the official portal of the air carrier.
• At the airport at the registration desk.
• Through a travel agency.

The end of check-in at the airport for domestic flights is strictly 40 minutes. Therefore, it is imperative that the passenger gets to the airport on time with sufficient time to complete check-in. Airline officials strongly recommend arriving at the airfield at least 90 minutes before the flight to ensure that there is sufficient time to complete the entire procedure.

Rules of conduct at the airport

Registration start - main stages

Online check-in for the flight is available through the official website of the airline. The passenger will receive an e-mail in advance, where it is indicated at what time the plane will depart and when online check-in opens. Usually this notification comes 24 hours before the flight departure. The process is pretty straightforward. The passenger can check-in at home after entering their own data, which are indicated in the passport.

You then have the option to download your boarding pass, print it on your printer or email it. Check-in for international flights ends immediately 4 hours before the flight departure. The passenger must arrive at the airport 2 hours before the end of check-in.

Important! Passengers who did not have time to check-in online for a Utair aircraft can perform the procedure directly at Pulkovo airport.

Many people wonder how this process goes, whether it takes time to get an itinerary receipt for a flight. There are special self-service points in the departure hall. These touchscreen machines look like ATMs and are located near the check-in counter in the departure halls.

Checking in at the airport for a plane using one of these devices is fairly easy. To do this, you just need to click on the FlySafair icon and follow the simple instructions. The printout will be identified using a personalized booking number - a six-digit code found at the top of the itinerary receipt.

How long does it take to complete all procedures

Check-in time. When to arrive at the airport

Many beginners do not know how to behave before flying. In order not to panic, you need to arrive at the airport in advance and calmly go through all the procedures. At any airport, passengers are required to:

• Passport. An internal passport is required to travel within Russia. In another country, undoubtedly, you need to take a foreign one. Domestic Russian can be useful if documents are stolen abroad, but even then it is easy to do without it.
• The ticket will be asked at the airport at check-in. In fact, there are a lot of airlines that check in only with a passport, because the ticket data is stored in a database. But it's better to print it anyway or save it on your smartphone while the registration at the airport begins. And if you fly on board Ryanair, you need to check in for the flight online and be sure to print your boarding pass a few hours before departure. Otherwise, the airline's employees will not be allowed on the plane or you will have to pay a fine.

Note! A different set of documents is required for children.

It includes:

• Child's passport. Domestic - if you are traveling in Russia, foreign - if a trip is planned abroad.
• Birth certificate. Border guards occasionally ask him to make sure the information is accurate. And on the basis of a birth certificate with a stamp or an insert on citizenship, a child under 14 years old will enter the country where they are allowed to go without a foreigner. For example, to Belarus.
• Consent to travel if the child is traveling without parents: with a nanny or grandmother. If children cross the border with one of the parents, consent to leave is not required.

Air terminals - requirements and rules

The difference between the check-in procedure at different airports

All passengers have the same system at the airport before going on a domestic flight. The procedure for passport control and security control can take some time, for example, from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the queue. After the passenger passes the security check, he is admitted to the departure hall. This is a special area where passengers can wait until check-in ends.

Passengers on international flights are subject to more thorough screening. Each person undergoes mandatory customs control, security control, as well as passport control. Many inexperienced passengers ask themselves the question: how many hours does it take to board a plane? To go through all types of control, you must appear 2.5 or 3 hours earlier. Passengers on domestic flights may arrive at the airport a little later, for example, 2 or 1.5 hours before the departure of the plane.

Requirements of air carriers for registration for low-cost airlines

The registration desk at Domodedovo, Vnukovo or Sheremetyevo is the traditional and most famous type of registration, which has not lost its popularity to this day. It is especially suitable for those who make their first flight, since the entire process is guided by trained personnel and mistakes are excluded.

This type of registration has many other fans as well - after all, interacting with people is often preferable to using technology. In addition, for some passengers, depending on the requirements of the airline, this may be the only suitable option. However, today low-cost air carriers have appeared, dictating their own rules, which each passenger must obey.

What are the requirements of low-cost airlines

How long does it take to check-in for a flight of low-cost airlines?

Low-cost airlines (low-cost airlines, low-cost airlines, discounters) - this is how low-cost airlines are called today, which offer cheap tickets with a minimum set of additional services.

When buying a ticket from a low-cost carrier for both domestic and international flights, you should carefully consider the choice of services and the fare conditions of a particular airline. Many travelers do not like to use budget air services on the Moscow - Barcelona or St. Petersburg - Paris route due to several factors.

While online check-in for major airlines is always free, Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizzair, Vueling and other airlines charge an additional fee of € 50 * upon check-in at the airport, while American Spirit Airlines charges 10 USD *. Moreover, Ryanair closes online check-in 4 hours before departure. In the absence of a printout (by ticket number) at the airport, the passenger will have to pay a fine. Since check-in at the airport is carried out exclusively with an electronic ticket.

How to stay calm when boarding a plane

While flying can be an exciting adventure, it can cause fear in some people. There are many different events that make people travel by air. It is believed that air transport is safer than any other form of transport. The number of road and rail accidents is much higher than the number of plane crashes.

Traveling is wonderful as long as the person is not in a stressful situation. Package tourists are protected from surprises, their path is strictly regulated: passport control, baggage claim, representatives of the tour operator, a shuttle for twenty people and a hotel that you can not leave.

And what remains to do for those who arrive at an unfamiliar airport in Europe, not knowing the language, and just want to find a way out after landing without incident? Indeed, for many tourists, even an aggressive offer of taxi drivers and snatching luggage from their hands is already a sufficient reason for stress. If panic has begun, then you need to pull yourself together.

In advance, you need to come to terms with the fact that in none of the airports in the world the sign system is not perfect. Even if a person is fluent in English, the signs often have to be looked for throughout the building and you can get lost on the route.

Note! It is better to study the airport map in advance, save it to your phone or sketch a rough plan. This will help you navigate in an unfamiliar place.

In conclusion, it should be noted that while at the airport you need to calm down. People are subject to excitement, this happens to many. None of the staff are interested in the traveler getting lost or missing the flight. There is no hopeless situation, as the aerodrome workers will help in any situation. It must be remembered that the main enemy of the traveler is panic.
