Check-in

To complete all the formalities including check-in, baggage drop-off and go through the various checkpoints, we recommend that you arrive early at the airport.
• International flights: 2 hours prior to scheduled departure time
• Domestic flights: 1 hour before departure
You can check-in for one hour; the check-in deadline is specified by your airline. It is mentioned on your ticket or on the trip reminder given to you. Should you fail to complete this formality, your departure will be cancelled.

At the airport

Go to the check-in desks to register your luggage and print your boarding pass.
The check-in desks are located in the restricted area in the Departures area. Safety officers will ask you to present your ticket as well as a valid ID document (a passport with valid visa if you are boarding on international flights or identity card / resident card for domestic flights). You must not go there along with non-passengers.

You will also go through an inspection and screening gate as well as your luggage. Anticipate to unpack your computer, Tablet, mobile phone and remove your belts, jewellery and other metal accessories as well.
Once you have been screened and your luggage registered, you are allowed to get out again to the public hall. However, to enter the area and go for boarding, you will go through the same safety screening process again.

To avoid long queues, you are advised to check-in online.

Online

Most airlines allow you to check-in early (till the check-in deadline) on their website. You can choose your seat and print your boarding pass through e-mail. Upon arrival at the airport, you can leave your hold baggage at the “baggage drop-off” desk.

Passengers already checked-in without hold baggage

If you have checked-in early and have no hold baggage, you can go directly to the boarding gate within time limit.
