Check-in at the airport
There are several ways to check in for your flight. For your convenience, we offer multiple check-in options and ways to drop off your baggage at the airport.
Express check-in
With our self-service units, you can speed your way through the airport. Select or change your seat, add your frequent flyer number and print your boarding pass. If you need to check in baggage, you will also receive a baggage tag. After completing your check-in, you can drop off your bags at our self-service baggage drop-off points or hand them over at our check-in desks.
Check-in at our dedicated desks
We have check-in desks at your disposal where our agents will take care of the whole check-in process for you.
Business Class passengers have a dedicated check-in counter at every airport, while at Brussels Airport there are also dedicated counters for passengers travelling in Premium Economy Class.
