Check-In Deadlines

Save time at the airport by checking in and printing your boarding pass at a Self-Service Kiosk.

No matter how you check in, be sure to respect the Check-In Deadline for your flight. After this deadline, you can no longer check in. Depending on your destination and departure airport, this deadline varies from 15 to 90 minutes before departure time.

How to use Self-Service Kiosks

Insert your Flying Blue card or a credit or debit card held in your name (even if the card was not used to pay for your ticket), or enter your electronic ticket number or reservation number. At certain kiosks, you can also identify yourself by scanning your passport.

Once the system has identified you:

the Self-Service Kiosk will retrieve your electronic ticket from our database,
you can confirm your seat or choose another seat on the cabin map,
the kiosk will print your boarding pass.

If you need to check in your baggage, simply take it to the "baggage drop-off" counter.

Need more legroom?
Reserve a Seat Plus when checking in.
