Boarding times and requirements
To ensure a smooth and stress-free departure, it’s crucial to know the exact boarding times and what documents you need at each stage. Here's everything you should be aware of:
๐ Standard Timing Guidelines
Action | Time Before Departure |
---|---|
Airport Check-in Opens | 3 hours before |
Check-in Closes | 60 minutes before |
Boarding Starts | 45 minutes before |

Arriving late may result in denied boarding and your baggage being removed from the flight.
๐️ At the Boarding Gate
- Have your boarding pass and travel documents (passport, visa if needed) ready for scanning.
- Security checks may occur up to 60 minutes before departure—plan accordingly.
- Missing the cutoff means you'll be denied boarding and your booking may be voided with no refund.
๐ Special Boarding Rules
What if I miss the boarding gate deadline?
Arriving after the gate closes (25 minutes prior) may lead to off-loaded baggage and denied boarding. No refund is provided.
Do I need to bring extra documents?
Yes—passports and visas must be valid. Incorrect or missing documents could result in travel denial and no refund.
What about security screening?
You must clear security at least 60 minutes before departure. Allow extra time during busy periods.
