As a rule, airports are always busy, and larger ones can be overcrowded. The flow of tourists in large airport terminals does not stop. Often the security measures can also be quite intimidating for many arrivals. This article will acquaint travelers with the rules of check-in at the airport, how much the check-in for the plane ends.
A passenger must complete several steps in order to check in for a flight:
- arrive on time at the airport;
- check in luggage;
- pass the customs control and head to the departure hall;
- get your boarding pass;
- pass the passport control.
All airlines require their passengers to check in early before flying. Check-in for a flight can be done in one of three ways:
- Online via the Internet on the official portal of the air carrier.
- At the airport at the check-in counter.
- Through a travel agency.
End of check-in at the airport domestic flights carried out strictly in 40 minutes. Therefore, it is extremely important that the passenger arrives at the airport on time with sufficient time for check-in. Airline staff strongly recommend arriving at the airfield at least 90 minutes prior to your flight to ensure there is sufficient time to complete the entire procedure.
Rules of conduct at the airport
Start of registration - main stages
Online check-in is available through the airline's official website. The passenger receives an email in advance, which indicates what time the plane departs and when online check-in opens. This notification usually arrives 24 hours before the flight departure. The process is pretty simple. The passenger can check in at home after entering their own data, which are indicated in the passport.
You are then given the option to download your boarding pass, print it on your printer or email it. Registration for international flights ends immediately 4 hours before the flight departure. The passenger must arrive at the airport terminal 2 hours before the end of check-in.
Important! Passengers who did not have time to check in online for a UTair aircraft can complete the procedure right at Pulkovo Airport.
Many people wonder how this process goes, whether it takes time to receive an itinerary receipt for a flight. There are special self-service points in the departure hall. These touch screen machines look like ATMs and are located near the check-in counter in the departure lounges.
Checking in at the airport for a plane using one of these devices is quite easy. To do this, just click on the FlySafair icon and follow the simple instructions. The printout will be identified using your personal booking number, the six-digit code found at the top of your itinerary receipt.
How long does it take to complete all procedures
Registration time. When to arrive at the airport
Many beginners do not know how to behave before the flight. In order not to panic, you need to arrive at the airport in advance and calmly go through all the procedures. At any airport, passengers are required to:
- The passport. To fly within Russia, you need an internal passport. In another country, of course, you need to take a foreigner. Domestic Russian can be useful if documents are stolen abroad, but even then it is easy to do without it.
- The ticket will be asked at the airport at check-in. In fact, there are a lot of airlines that check in only with a passport, because the ticket data is stored in the database. But it’s better to print it anyway or save it on your smartphone until check-in at the airport terminal begins. And if you fly on board Ryanair, then you need to check in for the flight on the Internet and be sure to print out your boarding pass a few hours before departure. Otherwise, the employees of the air carrier will not allow you to board the plane or you will have to pay a fine.
Note! For children, a different set of documents is required.
It includes:
- Child's passport. Internal - if you are traveling in Russia, foreign - if the trip is planned abroad.
- Birth certificate. He is occasionally asked by border guards to verify the accuracy of the information. And on the basis of a birth certificate with a stamp or an insert about citizenship, a child under 14 years old will enter a country where they are allowed to enter without a foreigner. For example, in Belarus.
- Consent to leave if the child travels without parents: with a nanny or grandmother. If children cross the border with one of the parents, consent to leave is not required.
Airport terminals - requirements and rules
Differences in the check-in procedure at different airports
All passengers are subject to the same system at the airport before boarding a domestic flight. The passport control and security control procedure may take some time, for example from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the queue. After the passenger passes the screening, he is allowed to the departure hall. This is a special area where passengers can wait until check-in is over.
Passengers on international flights are subject to more scrutiny. Each person goes through mandatory customs control, security control, as well as passport control. Many inexperienced passengers are wondering: how many hours does boarding start? To pass all types of control, you must arrive 2.5 or 3 hours earlier. Passengers on domestic flights may arrive at the terminal a little later, for example, 2 or 1.5 hours before the departure of the aircraft.
Requirements of air carriers for registration on low-cost airlines
The check-in counter at Domodedovo, Vnukovo or Sheremetyevo is the traditional and most famous type of check-in, which has not lost its popularity to this day. It is especially suitable for those who make their first flight, as the whole process is managed by trained personnel and mistakes are excluded.
This type of registration has many other fans - after all, interacting with people is often preferable to using technology. In addition, for some passengers, depending on the requirements of the airline, this may be the only suitable option. However, to date, low-cost air carriers have appeared, dictating their own rules, which each passenger must obey.
What are the requirements for low-cost carriers
How long does it take to check in for a low cost airline flight?
Lowcosters (lowcosters, lowcosters, discounters) - this is what is commonly called today low-cost airlines that offer cheap tickets with a minimum set of additional services.
When buying a ticket from a low-cost carrier for both domestic and international flights, you should carefully consider the choice of services and the fare conditions of a particular airline. Many travelers do not like to use the services of low-cost airlines in the direction of Moscow - Barcelona or St. Petersburg - Paris due to several factors.
If the online check-in of major air carriers is always free, then Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizzair, Vueling and other airlines charge an additional fee of €50* when checking in at the airport, and American Spirit Airlines - 10 USD*. Moreover, Ryanair closes online check-in 4 hours before departure. In the absence of a printout (by ticket number) at the airport, the passenger will have to pay a fine. Since check-in at the airport is carried out exclusively with an electronic ticket.
How to stay calm when boarding a plane
Although flying can be an exciting adventure, it can instill fear in some people. There are many different events that make people travel by air. It is believed that air Transport is safer than any other mode of transport. The number of road and rail accidents is much higher than the number of plane crashes.
Traveling is wonderful, as long as a person is not in a stressful situation. Package tourists are protected from surprises, their path is strictly regulated: passport control, baggage claim, representatives of the tour operator, a shuttle for twenty people and a hotel that you can not leave.
And what is left to do for those who arrive at an unfamiliar airport in Europe, not knowing the language, and just want to find a way out after landing without incident? Indeed, for many tourists, even the aggressive offer of taxi drivers and the snatching of luggage from their hands is already enough reason for stress. If you start to panic, then you need to pull yourself together.
In advance, you need to come to terms with the fact that none of the airports in the world has a perfect signage system. Even if a person is fluent in English, signs often have to be searched throughout the building and you can go astray.
Note! It is better to study the airport map in advance, save it to your phone or draw a rough plan. This will help you navigate in an unfamiliar place.
In conclusion, it should be noted that being at the airport you need to calm down. People are prone to anxiety, it happens to many. None of the employees is interested in the traveler getting lost or missing the flight. There is no hopeless situation, as airfield workers will help in any situation. It must be remembered that the main enemy of the traveler is panic.

We will describe how to go through online check-in for an airplane via the Internet. This procedure is now more in demand and used than the traditional one at the counter at the airport. Its advantages are the convenience for the passenger, the absence of huge queues and significant unloading for the staff.
Increasingly, major airlines are resorting to just such a self-check-in system, which greatly simplifies the entire process for both parties. After all, a passenger can do this at a convenient time for him, sitting at home or in the office, and airport employees do not have to work at an accelerated pace before each flight. And increasingly, such a service is moving from the category of additional to a mandatory category.

- It is better to know in advance all the features and rules for the selected flight and city. There are a number of exceptions relating not only to the flight, but also to special situations for passengers. And yet, the convenience of online check-in makes it possible to choose a suitable seat in the cabin and provide all the required information, which will free up time immediately before departure.
- Specify the hours at which such a procedure takes place. Even within the operation of one airline, they are often adjusted and changed. The duration of remote check-in via the Internet can begin a day or even several days in advance, and end an hour before departure. But you must fall within the limits that are set for your flight, and they may differ from the standard rules of the company.
- Carefully review the information indicated on the ticket, and accurately type the name and surname, document number, flight, departure time, etc. Everything must match the purchased document. Each column on the site is allocated separately and it is signed there what and where should be entered, it is difficult to make a mistake.

It is always allocated separately for those who have undergone an independent procedure via the Internet. But in this case, you should personally check the dimensions and weight of the cargo so that it exactly meets the requirements of the company.

In this case, a special matrix two-dimensional barcode is read by a special device.
Large modern airports install terminals in the check-in hall, in which the entire procedure also takes place on its own. The actions are similar to those described above, and at the end the device issues a printed or electronic version of the ticket.
When is traditional registration required?
Even if there is technical support for online registration, there are cases when you still need to go to the airport in advance and go through the procedure manually with the help of a specialist. And although such exceptions vary in each company, there are still general patterns.
