Check-in

The check-in area is located on the second floor of the terminal and automatically closes 40 minutes prior to the departure time indicated on your ticket (60 minutes for the Turkish Airlines, flydubai and FlyOne flights). Check-in begins at the time determined by the airline, but is usually no later than two hours prior to departure.

Please don’t be late for your check-in! The staff at the check-in counters do not have the technical ability to reopen a check-in after it has been closed.

All passengers must check-in for their flights prior to departure and receive a boarding pass in addition to their existing ticket.

A paper boarding pass can be printed in advance before the end of a check-in at the flight check-in counters or on one of our REPRINT devices located:

• Before the turnstiles and the entrance to the domestic departures area;
• after the turnstiles at the passport control counters in the domestic departures area;
• in front of the 70th and 71st check-in counters.

Transfer/transit passengers arriving and departing with domestic airlines can also print out a paper boarding pass at the check-in counter for their connecting flights.

There may be special conditions for an online check-in for certain flight destinations. Please check them on the website or via the airlines information service.
