Travel Tips

Bag Drop

Passengers with checked baggage must use the bag drop counters, and the deadline matches the airport counter closing time (45 minutes before domestic, 60 minutes before international).

Bag Drop

Staff cannot override system closures once the deadline passes—even being a few minutes late may result in denied check-in or boarding.

Self Service

Kiosk check-in is available from 12 hours up to 45 minutes (domestic) or 60 minutes (international) before departure. Self-service kiosks can be used by regular passengers.
