How do I check in after changing my ticket?
After making a ticket change, you can complete the check-in process by following these steps:
Confirming the Ticket Change:

- Booking Number and ID: Enter your booking number and personal details using your new ticket information. These details are required to verify your booking.
Obtaining a New Boarding Pass:

Baggage Procedures:
- Baggage: If there has been a change to your baggage allowance during the ticket change or if you have purchased additional baggage allowance, you can hand in your baggage at the airport during check-in. Please check the arrangements regarding your baggage whilst doing online check-in.
Security and Immigration Checks:

Check-in at the Airport:
- Check-in Counter: If you were unable to check in online or if additional procedures are required, go to the airline’s check-in counter at the airport. Complete your check-in by presenting your new ticket details and identification document.
By regularly monitoring the check-in process and checking for updates following a ticket change, you can make your pre-flight process smoother and more efficient.
