Nowadays, most travellers are accustomed to web check-in. Web check-in is a breakthrough that benefits all passengers as airlines work to simplify processes and ease travel. The majority of airline websites have a "Web Check In" or "Check In" tab on their home page. Web check-in allows you to choose your seats and print boarding passes while sitting at home. Your boarding pass's bar code contains the reservation details. You can proceed directly to the security checkpoint area once you arrive at the airport, then proceed to the gate and board the airplane.

• For domestic flights, web check-in opens 24 - 48 hours before planned departure and shuts 60 minutes before scheduled departure.
• For international flights, web check-in opens 96 hours before departure and shuts 120 minutes prior.

Steps to follow for web check-in:

• Visit the airline’s website to check in online.
• To complete the check-in, enter your booking reference or PNR and your surname.
• After that, you can select your seat. When the seat has been selected and confirmed an e-boarding pass will be issued.

If you simply have carry-on luggage, you can go straight to the security check but you have to go to your airline's counter if you have luggage that needs to be checked. Most airlines will offer a separate baggage drop area for travellers who checked in online.
