EGYPTAIR offers a range of check-in options to ensure passengers have a smooth and efficient travel experience. One of the most convenient methods is online check-in, which opens 48 hours before the scheduled departure time and remains available until 90 minutes before the flight. This service allows travelers to confirm their flight details, choose seats, and receive their boarding pass in advance. Online check-in is accessible for most domestic and international flights, making it an ideal choice for passengers who want to avoid long queues at the airport and proceed directly to security if traveling with hand baggage only.

Another convenient way to check in is through the EGYPTAIR mobile app, which provides the same services as the web check-in. The mobile option allows passengers to manage bookings, select seats, and download their boarding passes straight to their smartphones. It’s especially helpful for those who are on the go or prefer a paperless experience. Both online and mobile check-in options are designed to save time and reduce stress, giving travelers more control over their journey.

For passengers who prefer traditional methods, airport check-in counters are available at all departure airports. These counters typically open three hours before international flights and two hours before domestic flights. EGYPTAIR recommends that passengers arrive early to complete the check-in process, especially during peak travel times or when traveling with checked luggage. The check-in counters usually close 60 minutes before departure for international flights and 45 minutes before domestic flights. Passengers who miss these deadlines may not be allowed to board, so it’s essential to be punctual.

In addition to standard check-in, EGYPTAIR offers priority check-in services for passengers flying in Business Class or First Class, as well as for members of the EGYPTAIR Plus frequent flyer program and elite members of Star Alliance partner airlines. These passengers can enjoy faster service at dedicated check-in counters, helping them move through the airport more quickly and comfortably.

Special assistance is available for travelers with reduced mobility, families traveling with infants or young children, and unaccompanied minors. These passengers are encouraged to arrive at the airport early to ensure that all necessary arrangements can be made without delays. EGYPTAIR staff are trained to assist with a variety of needs, ensuring a safe and pleasant journey for all.

Once check-in is complete, passengers should head to the boarding gate with ample time before departure. Boarding generally starts 30 to 45 minutes before the flight and gates typically close 15 to 20 minutes before takeoff. It’s important to be at the gate well before the closing time, as airlines strictly enforce these cut-off periods to maintain on-time departures.

In summary, EGYPTAIR check-in opens 48 hours before departure online and via mobile and closes 90 minutes before the flight. For airport check-in, passengers should arrive two to three hours early, depending on whether the flight is domestic or international. Checking in early ensures a smoother experience and reduces the risk of delays, missed flights, or long queues at the airport.
