Online flight check in

If you are traveling by Indian (Air India) and if you want to save time at the airport, do a iCheck-in. For this you have to do the following:

  • Fill in the origin, PNR No (Indian ref No) and Last Name at iCheck-in site
  • This does not work in Firefox 2.0/3.0, so use Internet Explorer.
  • Follow the process and you can select the seat and finally it will provide you a boarding card sheet which could be printed out.
  • In case you do not have a printer you are dead as it does not allow you to save.
  • So ensure that your printer is working fine before you start on this process.
  • In case you end up with no print, you can still take your ticket to the airport boarding pass counter and request them to print the ticket.
  • At the airport you can directly walk to the security area and get the boarding pass stamped. You need to get security stamp at BOTH the customer as well as agent copy.
  • In case you have a check-in baggage this is of not much use as you still have to go the booking counter.
There is a similar procedure for kingfisher in their website.

So cut down your wait at airport especially now in Bangalore where it takes 1.5-2hrs to reach the airport.
