Check-in

The closure of airport check-in varies depending on the destination you are traveling to. You can find detailed information in the table within the article about airport check-in.

After check-in, it's not possible to purchase additional services through the website. We encourage you to buy selected services in advance via Manage My Booking. Once you've checked in, you can still purchase some additional services, like baggage, at the airport. Please note that certain services, such as ordering a meal or transport of animals, need to be confirmed well in advance.
