The essential things to know when checking in for your flight 

  • Arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare for a pleasant experience through to the departure gate.
  • Check-in times vary depending on whether you travel domestically or internationally, and which airline you’ll be flying with. We recommend you check with your airline to understand their flight check-in requirements.
  • Arrive in plenty of time to go through security screening and immigration if you travel internationally. 
  • Unexpected delays can happen, especially at peak travel times, so please consider this when planning your travel.
  • Upon arrival, head to your airline's check-in desks on the ground floor.
