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:

๐Ÿ•’ 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
Boarding Gate Closes 25 minutes before

Arriving late may result in denied boarding and your baggage being removed from the flight.

๐ŸŽŸ️ 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. 

๐Ÿ“˜ 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.

You must clear security at least 60 minutes before departure. Allow extra time during busy periods.
