Check-in at the self service ticket machines

At the airport, proceed to a self-service ticket machine to check in and label your baggage.

  • You are not yet checked in: you can do it from the ticket machine by choosing your seat, then labelling your baggage and printing out your boarding card.
  • You have checked in online and you are already in possession of your boarding card (printed or received on your mobile): you can scan your boarding card at the ticket machine and then label your baggage.
  • You have checked in online but do not have your boarding card yet: you can print it from the ticket machine and label your baggage.

You can now proceed by following the signage to the  “Drop-Off” counter where an agent will load your baggage, or to the  “Automatic Baggage Drop-Off” counter.

Once your check-in is completed, proceed to the boarding area !

Check-in at the self-service machines is available at the airports: Paris-Charles de Gaulle (terminal 2F), Paris-Orly, Ajaccio, Bastia, Lyon, Nice and Toulouse.  

Check-in at the airport  desk

Proceed to the airport check-in desks and present your identity documents and baggage to receive your boarding card.

Please note :  if your return flight is within 24 hours of your initial departure and you have a confirmed booking, you can check in for your outward and return flights at the same time.

What do I do with my baggage?

  • You are travelling with only one piece of hand luggage and you have already checked in : you can go directly to the boarding gate.
  • You are travelling with baggage in the hold:  simply drop it off at one of the “ Drop-Off ” points or at the check-in counters and then proceed to the boarding gate.
  • Automatic Drop-Off Baggage Counter in Paris and Marseilles: passengers in possession of a boarding pass can use the automatic baggage check-in depositories. In this way, you avoid the queues at the check-in counters and you can check-in yourself and your baggage in one minute.

What is the check-in deadline?

Whichever way you check in, you must respect the Check-in Deadline, this is the time when you can no longer check yourself in or drop off your baggage. Depending on your destination and the departure airport, the Check-in Deadline may vary :

  • For flights in metropolitan France : the Check-in Deadline is set at 30 minutes prior to departure.
  • For flights out of Paris-Charles De Gaulle : the Check-in Deadline is fixed at 40 minutes prior to departure.
  • For European flights within the Schengen area: the Check-in Deadline is fixed at 40 minutes prior to departure.
