If you have felt the pain of standing in long queues of check-in counters of airlines at the airports, you would have prayed for getting some solution to this nightmare. This was the situation when the online methods were not yet explored fully for use in aviation sector in general and for easing the check-in process at the airports. The last few decades have seen a marked change in the adoption of technology for air travel. 

Indian carriers too have adopted modern web-based modes of searching for flights, making flight reservations, seeking refunds, airing their grievances and using these for checking-in process. Indigo, the premier carried of India, also provides internet-based services for providing hassles-free services to its passengers. Web check in is one of these areas where internet technology has helped in saving time of passengers and preventing long queues at airports. So, how do we use the web check in Indigo airlines services?

If, however, you have booked ticket with some agency and perform check in at a later stage, this facility is open 48 hours till 2 hours before the departure of flight. Indigo provides this service for its direct and domestic flights. International passengers do not have this facility.

On clicking it, you will be asked to provide booking reference number (which could be the PNR or the e-ticket number) and email ID or last name. This will take you to the next step of accepting terms and conditions and then on to make a choice of seats, meals and excess baggage or avail of any special service that you need. 

Once you have made these choices, you will be shown the boarding pass for verification of all details. At this stage, you shall carefully verify all the details you have entered. If you find anything wrong, then you can always go back and make amends before proceeding to the next step. Once satisfied with all details, you shall move forward to the next step of getting the boarding pass into your email ID. These steps complete the Indigo web check inprocess for domestic flights.

The boarding pass which you get in your email shall be taken in printed form at the airport along with other original travel documents and photocopies of credit or debit cards used to make payments for flight booking. These documents are required at security clearance stage. If boarding pass is not taken in printed form, you will have to pay at airport for print-out and be in regular check-in line of airline at the airport counter. Thus, you shall not miss to take the print-out of boarding pass.
