Self-service kiosk check-in
For a more convenient check-in, self-service kiosks are a great option. With them, avoid lines at the airline counter and complete the entire process quickly. Just have your reservation number and an official photo ID ready. The kiosk will automatically print your boarding pass and baggage tags, if necessary. If you need to check baggage, complete the check-in at the kiosk and proceed to the airline counter.
