Check-in

🎟 When you book a flight ticket, you receive a ‘provisional ticket’. This serves as proof of your booking but does not allow you to board the plane. Only your boarding pass allows you to board the plane.

🧘‍♀️ So how do you receive your boarding pass before departure? It is sent to you once you have checked in with the airline. Check-in usually opens around 24 hours before departure (more precisely between 48 hours and 16 hours before departure, depending on the airline).
