Online check-in
To avoid any unnecessary waiting, we recommend that you check in before arriving at the airport. To do so, use the online or mobile check-in function on your airline’s website to check in from the comfort of your own home. You can then print off your boarding pass or save it to your mobile phone. You can drop off your baggage at your airline's check-in desk at the Airport. With some airlines you can receive the baggage label when you check in online. Use this option to hand in your baggage even faster.

Some airlines allow you to check-in and drop-off your baggage from 23 hours before your flight. Please check with your airline whether they offer this service.
