Travel Tips

Special Service

If you are traveling with pets, unaccompanied minors, requiring medical or special assistance, or flying on an upgraded award ticket, you must check in at the airport counter and cannot use online or kiosk check-in.

Self Service

Self-service check-in kiosks are available at Suvarnabhumi, Phuket, and Chiang Mai airports, as well as select regional airports.

Recommendation

Always have a printed boarding pass or paper copy even when using a mobile pass, as digital-only passes may not be accepted at all airports.
