Do boarding passes need to be collected in advance? How long does the boarding pass take in advance

With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more people go out to travel. More and more people are flying. A lot of people will ask how long is it appropriate to get the boarding pass ahead of time? It won't delay the trip. Let's talk about it in detail.

1、 Generally speaking, check-in procedures for international flights may take about 20-60 minutes. The security check-in procedures are stricter than those for domestic flights, so the passing time of security check-in is twice that of domestic flights. And to line up to pass China's border inspection, if the border inspection meets the peak flow of people, there may be more than half an hour of waiting. Therefore, please reserve 90 minutes for domestic flights at large airports. It is recommended to arrive at the airport one and a half hours before the flight takes off. For international flights, please reserve at least 2 hours.

2、 There are four ways to change the boarding pass: 1. If there is self-service check-in equipment in the airport waiting hall, you can change the boarding pass through the machine. The change time stipulated by each airport is different. Generally, it starts 4 hours before take-off and ends 1 hour before take-off.

2. If the airline you are in has opened the online check-in service, and the airport you are departing from also supports this service, you can log in to the online check-in system on the official website of the airline 24 hours before the plane takes off to print your boarding pass.

3. Go directly to the check-in counter of the airport for replacement, and handle at the counter with ID card or other valid ID card. Generally, domestic flights start to handle 90 minutes before take-off and end 30 minutes before take-off (Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport ends 45 minutes before take-off, pay special attention to this airport temporarily in China). International flights should be handled 2 hours in advance and closed 30 minutes in advance.

4. There is also a mobile check-in method. You can edit and send the designated SMS content to the designated number of the airline to help you reserve your seat, and then send a three-dimensional code or two-dimensional number to your mobile phone to confirm the seat. However, before boarding, you have to go to the counter to get a paper boarding pass. In addition, the check-in of other mobile phones has higher requirements for the airport and airline system. For the time being, only a few airports in China, such as capital airport, Hongqiao and Pudong, support it. Of course, the return flight procedure is the same.
