Flight check-in time. How is the registration for the plane: how much does it end and start

After completing the check-in procedure and other formalities before departure, you find yourself directly in the departure area or the waiting room, where you will have to wait for the announcement of boarding the flight. Even if there is enough time left before departure, you won’t be bored there - there are cozy cafes and duty free shops for shoppers in the departure area. In order to avoid unforeseen situations and in order not to be late for departure, it is worth knowing how much the boarding of the plane starts. As a rule, boarding the aircraft is announced after the end of the check-in procedure for passengers on the flight. Arriving in advance in the waiting room, where the “gates” or gates (Gate) are located, first of all you have to find your gate for boarding, so that later at the last minute you don’t look and, God forbid, get lost. After the desired gate is found, you need to check the flight number on the sign at the exit and the number indicated on the boarding pass. The data must match.

Important! Gate numbers sometimes change for unknown reasons, so it is important to arrive at the boarding gate no later than half an hour before departure and constantly monitor the announcements and information on the scoreboard.

Boarding pass

Without such a document as a boarding pass, you will not be allowed to board. It is issued to each passenger after the check-in procedure has been completed. In the case when the check-in is successfully completed through the terminals or the Internet, then the boarding pass can be printed out by yourself. You can do this in the following ways:

at the check-in counter at the station;
through the self-check-in terminal for the flight;
through an online service.

In unforeseen situations, when the boarding pass is forgotten at home, or for unknown reasons it has become damaged (wet, torn, wrinkled), you always have the opportunity to print a new one. This document contains important information for passengers:

flight number (referred to as Flight);
the number and location of the seat in the aircraft cabin (Seat);
boarding time & gate closes, sometimes only one thing is indicated, for example, boarding start time;
exit number (Gate), for passing passengers to boarding.

The boarding pass should always be at hand along with the passport, because sometimes identity documents can be checked again before the flight.

Features of boarding passengers on an airplane

The boarding pass must indicate the start time for boarding passengers. This information will be announced several times over the airport speakerphone, but it is better to come five to ten minutes earlier than the time indicated on the ticket, so as not to be late. Upon arrival at the gate or "gate" leading passengers to boarding, it is important to check the flight number and gate number again to make sure you are on the right track. At the exit, you will be required to present a boarding pass, and in certain cases, a passport (more often, an identity document is checked before boarding domestic flights). The coupon has two parts, the larger one will be torn off, and the smaller one will be left to the passenger. This part of the ticket should be checked again to be sure - it contains information about the luggage (baggage tags), which will make it possible to identify and find your suitcases among the luggage upon arrival.

After passing through the Gate at large airports, you will get on board the aircraft either by bus, delivering all passengers of the flight to the gangway, or by an air corridor-accordion, directly connecting the station terminal and the liner. Having ascended the ladder or passed along the "sleeve" to the plane, you will be warmly welcomed there by the flight attendants who welcome you on board the aircraft and will help you find and take the seat in the cabin indicated in the boarding pass. Hand luggage should be carefully placed on the shelf to avoid inconvenience and discomfort during the flight.

Boarding start and end times

As a rule, the exact time of the beginning and end of boarding the aircraft is indicated in the boarding pass, written on all the numerous information boards of the airport and announced orally over the loudspeaker. But it is not necessary to look at the ticket or wait for an announcement in order to rationally calculate your own time and not be late for boarding. For those who are unlucky and they are late due to their own fault, the cost of the ticket is not refundable. It is worth taking care of the timely arrival at the desired gate in advance. You just need to know the time of departure of the aircraft and the end time of registration of passengers.

Attention! Boarding for international flights is 10-20 minutes earlier than for domestic flights.

Passengers traveling abroad should arrive at the gate no later than 40 minutes before departure, and those traveling within the country should appear at the gate half an hour before departure. At smaller airports, boarding sometimes starts 20 minutes before departure for domestic flights and 30 minutes for international flights. This is due to the fact that at international airports there is often a long queue, and at small ones it is smaller, so the check-in procedure with subsequent boarding takes much less time.

Check-in for flights

Dear passengers! Access to the areas of domestic and international airlines is possible only if the passenger has a boarding pass (in paper or electronic form).

Passenger check-in is carried out on the second floor of the terminal and automatically ends 40 minutes before the departure time of the flight indicated on the ticket (60 minutes for Turkish airlines, flydubai and FlyOne flights). Check-in start time depends on the airline, but no later than two hours before departure.

Please do not be late for registration! Employees at the check-in counters do not have the technical ability to re-open the check-in after it ends.

Before departure, all passengers must check in for their flight and, in addition to their existing ticket, receive a boarding pass.

A paper boarding pass can be printed in advance on any printer, as well as received before the end of check-in for the flight at the check-in counters of your flight or printed on REPRINT devices located in front of the entrance to the departure area of domestic airlines, opposite the 61st and 80th check-in sections (Utair and other airlines) and opposite the 85th check-in section ("Russia"). Passengers of Turkish airlines can use the airline's self check-in kiosks.

Transfer/transit passengers arriving and departing on domestic flights can also print a paper boarding pass at the transfer/transit check-in desk.

If you need to get a mark (stamp) on passing special control on a paper boarding pass, you will need to have a printed boarding pass with you and, if necessary, ask the aviation security officer at the special control desk to put a mark (stamp). Please note that it is possible to get a mark (stamp) on a paper boarding pass at the airport of departure only during pre-flight procedures. After the completion of the flight, all requests for flight confirmation must be sent to the carrier (airline).

Certain flight routes may have special online check-in conditions. Please specify them on the websites or in the information services of the airlines.

For many passengers, boarding Aeroflot aircraft and checking in for a flight raises many questions. It is not always clear when to arrive at the airport and what actions to take before the aircraft departs. It is important to understand that the process of passenger check-in and boarding requires more time when compared to a similar process at a railway station or bus stop. This is due to the need to go through security and baggage checks. Below we will consider how much the boarding ends, as well as when to arrive in order to avoid being late for the flight.

Arrival time

In order to avoid delays in departure, it is advisable to arrive for check-in and check-in at the airport in advance in order to have time to check-in for boarding at Aeroflot. These rules may vary depending on the airport. For example, in Sheremetyevo (Moscow), flight check-in starts:

2 hours before for a domestic flight.
2.5 hours for an international flight.
