Can I do online check-in for international flights?

Yes, you can usually do online check-in for international flights, just like you can for domestic flights. Most airlines let you check in online 24 to 48 hours before your flight. You can do this by visiting the airline’s official website or using their mobile app. To start, you need your booking number and last name. Then you can choose your seat, confirm your travel details, and get your boarding pass.

After checking in online, you can print your boarding pass or save it on your mobile phone. Many international airports accept mobile passes, so if you’re traveling with just hand luggage, you can go straight to security. If you have checked baggage, you will still need to go to the bag-drop counter at the airport. But since you’re already checked in, the process will be quicker.

Keep in mind, some rules may be different for international flights. If your passport or visa needs to be checked, or if there’s a problem with your documents, the airline may ask you to check in at the airport. Also, passengers who need special assistance, are traveling with infants, or are part of a large group might need to check in in person.

Some countries or airports may have different requirements for international travelers, so it’s always good to check the airline’s rules before your flight.

In short, online check-in is allowed for most international flights and is a great way to save time. Just make sure your documents are ready and know the rules for your destination.
