Customers should ensure they have checked in by the following times.

If you do not check in by the check-in deadline you will not be able to travel on the flight. Depending on your fare conditions, a failure to check-in on time may also result in:

• the loss of the fare. You will need to make a new booking and pay for a new ticket if you wish to travel, or
• the payment of a change fee plus any difference between the fare for your new booking and the original fare.

Due to potential traffic delays, check in time and security screening we recommend you be at the airport for domestic travel at least 60 minutes before departure.

For passengers travelling on international flights we recommend 120 minutes for Economy class and 90 minutes for First and Business class passengers.

An e-ticket or electronic ticket is a ticket that is stored electronically rather than being printed on paper. You should carry your e-ticket receipt at all times for both international and domestic flights. Photographic identification must be produced at check in.
