Can I check-in at the airport?
Modified on: Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Yes, most airlines still have check-in desks at the airport! But it’s always worth visiting your airline’s website – some charge additional fees for an airport check-in.
Online check-in is a great way to save time and money – whether you need to add extra baggage, change your seats, or download your boarding passes. It’s all possible from 24 hours to 2 hours before you depart. Just make sure you check the specific details for your airline(s) as they’re not all the same.
Now you’re fully prepared for your flight, we’ve created a handy check-in guide – just look for the links to your airline(s). If your airline isn't listed, visit the ‘check-in’ section on your airline’s website.
And remember to check in for your return flight too! You may be on holiday when it’s time to do this online, so make sure you set a reminder. If you need to view your boarding cards, you’ll find them by logging into your account via your airline’s website or app.
