To avoid issues that could ruin your holiday or business trip, follow these 5 essential and practical tips for completing online check-in, developed by experts from the Skyscanner.it flight search, comparison, and booking portal:
- Check your airline’s rules ahead of time: as mentioned, each carrier sets its own terms and conditions for online check-in. Always follow the official process found on your airline’s website.
- Print or save your boarding passes before you go: it’s best to print your documents at home to ensure you have them on hand. If not, download them to your devices—many airlines now accept mobile boarding passes.
- Use airline apps while traveling: avoid the risk of being “cut off” by downloading your airline’s official app. This gives you access to updates and essential information wherever you are.
- Internet abroad is more affordable than you think: if needed, you can usually connect via mobile abroad without racking up huge charges, as roaming prices have generally decreased. Still, check with your phone provider’s website for details before you leave.
- Take advantage of free Wi-Fi hotspots: both in Italy and abroad, more public spaces, shops, and points of interest offer free Wi-Fi. You can connect at places like Starbucks, McDonald’s, hotel lobbies, bars, libraries, Apple Stores, and more to check and confirm your online check-in has gone through.
