Minors who are unaccompanied by an adult as well as wheelchair users, disabled or pregnant travellers should check in at one of the check-in counters upon arrival at the airport.

After checking in online, passengers will have access to their electronic ticket. This electronic ticket can be printed off and used as the boarding pass. Passengers who are unable to print off their boarding pass at home can print it off at one of the China Eastern Airlines check-in kiosks or counters at the airport.

The weight of the hand luggage must not exceed 10 kg and the dimensions must not be greater than 56 x 45 x 25cm. The total of the 3 lengths must not be greater than 115 cm.
