At Turkish Airlines, we offer several options to enable our passengers to complete their check-in procedures quickly and without any hitches. You, too, can enjoy trouble-free check-in, either in the airport at our check-in desk or self-service kiosks, on our website using your computer, tablet, or smartphone, or using our mobile app.
If you have already checked in online, you can save time by going straight to the baggage desk without having to wait in the line at the other counters and just hand in your baggage. If you check in online using our website or mobile app, you can send your mobile boarding pass to your telephone. When you check in online using our website, you can also get a printout of your online boarding pass. As check-in options may vary according to airport, we recommend that you read through check-in options at airports.
Self-service check-in gives you the option to check-in at the airport using our self-service kiosks. You can use the Turkish Airlines self-service kiosks to check in quickly at the airport and avoid the lines.
Check in with ease by entering your e-bilet number or PNR code at airport kiosks. In addition, you can also use your Miles & Smiles or debit card to access your personal information. The check-in process is complete when you select your seat and receive your boarding pass.
Self-service check-in opens 12 hours before your flight departure time and closes 45 minutes before take-off for domestic flights and 60 minutes beforehand for international flights. You can check in a maximum of 8 people with the same booking code (PNR) at one time at our self-service kiosks.
After your boarding pass is printed off at the self-service kiosk, you can go straight to the boarding gate if you do not have any baggage. If you do have baggage, you need to check it at the check-in desk before proceeding to your boarding gate.
You can use the self-service kiosk to check in for all legs of domestic connecting flights, from start to finish, both with and without baggage. You can also use the self-service kiosk to check in for both outbound and inbound flights if you have no baggage and are returning the same day.
After you have checked in at the self-service kiosk, you need to be at the boarding gate no later than 20 minutes before departure for all flights. Please remember that at some airports it can take a long time to get to the boarding gate.
Just as you can check in using one of our online facilities, you can also experience a trouble-free and speedy check-in at one of our airport check-in desks using the following steps:
During check-in, as well as your national ID, you can also use your driver license, passport, or marriage certificate as proof of identity.
Check-in facilities at airports close 45 minutes before take-off for domestic flights and 60 minutes before take-off for international flights. This rule may vary according to the customs of local authorities at some stations.
