Do I need to do anything after an online check in?

Post-Online Check-In Procedures

Online check-in offers convenience and expedites the airport experience. However, understanding the necessary steps to complete the process is essential.

Boarding Pass Retrieval

After online check-in, most airlines provide boarding passes via email and SMS. The boarding pass typically contains a barcode that serves as proof of check-in and boarding.

Security and Boarding

For Carry-On Luggage Only:

• Present the boarding pass and a valid ID at the security checkpoint.
• Once cleared, proceed to your boarding gate.

For Checked Luggage:

• In addition to the boarding pass and ID, you will need to proceed to the airline’s baggage check-in counter.
• Check in your luggage and receive a luggage tag.
• Present the boarding pass and luggage tag at the security checkpoint.

No Further Actions Required

Once you have completed security and obtained your boarding pass (and checked luggage if applicable), no further actions are typically required until boarding the aircraft.

Exceptions

In some cases, you may need to:

• Pay baggage fees at the check-in counter.
• Submit additional documentation, such as a passport, for international flights.
• Check in at a designated counter if you have mobility or special assistance needs.

Conclusion

Online check-in simplifies the airport check-in process. By retrieving your boarding pass via email or SMS and having it ready at security, you can bypass the check-in counter and proceed to your gate. For passengers with checked luggage, it is necessary to visit the baggage check-in counter to submit their bags before heading to security.
