Smartwings Airline – flights and destinations

Smartwings check-in

Smartwings' check-in choices enable you to check in online, using your mobile device, at a check-in machine or at the airline check-in desk at the airport.
You are required to check in at the airline desk in the airport you are departing from if travelling with pets or in case you demand special on-board services.

Smartwings online check-in

Online check-in opens from 30 hours ahead of time of departure and enables seat selection and either printing of your boarding pass or downloading it to a mobile device (make sure mobile check-in is available at the departure airport).

Smartwings mobile check-in

For further convenience, you have the possibility to choose to download your mobile boarding pass, making it possible to check in anytime you like. From 30 hours before departure, you can check in, select your seat, and get your boarding pass via your mobile device. Mobile check-in is not available in all airports, so it is important to look this up when planning your flight.

In the event you have a problem with your mobile boarding pass, you can go to the airline check-in counter or a check-in machine (where available) for a conventional paper one. This also applies in the event your phone has issues, or your boarding pass is deleted.

Smartwings self-check-in machines

These are the screens you can use to check in at the airport. Not all airports have self-check-in machines, so check that your airport of departure does ahead of your trip. With the majority of check-in machines, you can check in by using your passport, or by filling in your last name and the flight booking reference (found in your booking confirmation).

Smartwings check-in deadlines

Check-in deadlines are crucial in order to achieve on-time departure for flights. Before the deadline you should have your boarding pass, however you checked in – in person, online, with your mobile phone, or if you were automatically checked in – and baggage must also have been checked in.
