Check-in
Check in times
Please make sure that you arrive at the departure gate
in plenty of time to board your flight. Depending on the layout and
operation of each airport, the boarding gate may close up to 30 minutes
before the scheduled time of departure. Don't forget to allow time for
airport security checks, and for what, in larger airports, may be
a long walk to the gate. If you miss your flight we
will be unable to refund your ticket or transfer you to another flight.

Online check-in
Checking in online allows you to go straight to the security gate on arrival at the airport, or if you have bags to check in our fast bag drop staff will be happy to help.
