Check-In Information 

Check-In Times 

We work hard to make the check-in process as fast as possible, but at peak times, it may take longer than expected. To ensure a smooth and speedy check-in, please make sure you have all your required documentation to board your flight. 

Check-in usually opens:

• 4 hours before long haul flights (flights between 6-12 hours)
• 2 or 3 hours before short haul flights (flights between 3-6 hours)

Please check with your airline directly if you wish to confirm precise check-in opening times.

It’s best to allow lots of time for the entire check-in, security and boarding process, so get to the airport as early as you can. While you wait to board your flight, enjoy a meal in one of our restaurants or do some shopping in one of our stores.
