How soon can I check-in with Air Transat?

With Air Transat, you can check in online starting 24 hours before your flight. This online check-in option is available for most flights, including both domestic and international routes. To check in, go to the Air Transat website or use their mobile app. Enter your booking reference and last name to start the process. Once you're checked in, you can choose your seat, confirm your details, and get your boarding pass.

Your boarding pass can be printed or saved to your mobile phone. If you're traveling with only carry-on bags, this makes your airport experience much faster—you can go straight to security. If you have checked bags, you still need to stop at the bag-drop counter. Air Transat’s bag-drop counters usually open at least 3 hours before international flights and 2 hours before domestic flights. These counters close about 1 hour before departure, so it’s important to arrive early.

If you can’t check in online or if you prefer to do it in person, you can also check in at the airport. Airport check-in typically opens 3 hours before departure and closes 45 to 60 minutes before takeoff, depending on the destination. Some travelers—like those needing special assistance, flying with infants, or traveling in a group—might be required to check in at the counter.

In summary, Air Transat allows online check-in 24 hours before your flight, making travel faster and easier. It's the best way to avoid long lines and get your boarding pass early. Just make sure to arrive at the airport on time, especially if you have bags to check or need help at the counter.
