How to check in with easyJet
easyJet online check-in at a glance
easyJet offers online check-in through its website or app. There are no easyJet check-in desks at the airport, so online is your only option. Ground staff can help if something goes wrong when checking in online, but this service isn't available for routine check-in.
easyJet check-in periods:
- Online and app check-in opens: 30 days before departure.
- Online and app check-in closes: 2 hours before departure.
Want one less thing to think about? Opodo's automatic check-in feature can send your boarding pass to your phone as soon as easyJet enables it.
easyJet's check-in conditions can change. Check the airline's official website or contact easyJet if you need the latest details for your flight.
easyJet check-in: a step by step guide
Choose the route that works best for your booking.
Most people check in online, as it means they have their boarding pass ready before they leave home.
Head to Check-in on the easyJet website or open the app, then enter your booking reference when it asks.
Confirm your contact details and fill in any traveller information easyJet asks for. Copy each entry carefully from the document you'll be travelling with.
Have a look at the seat you've been given, or pick a different one if you'd rather. Choosing a specific seat instead of the one allocated usually comes with a charge.
Select everyone you're checking in and make sure their details are correct before the check-in closes. Got more than one flight on the booking? Make sure each one is checked in.
Keep your mobile boarding pass in the easyJet app, or print the full page clearly if you'd rather have paper. Open it before you leave home so you know it's there and easy to read.
Travelling with hand luggage only? Head straight to Security. Checking a bag? Go to easyJet Bag Drop first and hang on to the receipt once your bag's tagged.
Use this route if something goes wrong with your online check-in, like a website outage or app glitch. Ground staff may be able to help, but this service isn't available for routine check-in.
Look at the departure screens for the Bag Drop zone. The ground crew will be near the Bag Drop area, ready to help if you've hit a problem with online check-in. Find them before Bag Drop closes.
Keep it somewhere you can find quickly. If someone else made the booking, get it from them before you leave home.
Put each hold bag on the belt when you're asked to. Hang on to the bag tag receipt until you've picked up your luggage after the flight.
Tell the ground crew what went wrong: whether the website failed, a boarding pass never appeared, or a little one on your booking can't check in online. A screenshot of the error helps them sort it faster.
Check the flight and your name are right, then head to Security. The gate might be a fair walk away, so head there as soon as you're through security.
This is the option for you if you'd rather let the Opodo app handle check-in. Book your easyJet flight with Opodo and the trip lands in the app, ready for the next steps.
Sign in to the Opodo app and find your easyJet booking under your trips. Check every person and flight you're expecting is listed.
Choose automatic check-in when it's offered for your booking. Add the traveller details the app asks for and confirm Opodo can submit them on your behalf.
Opodo sends everything through once easyJet opens check-in for your flight. Keep an eye out for a notification if more information is needed.
Your boarding pass lands in your trip once the process goes through. Download it to your phone before the day of your flight so you're not relying on the airport Wi-Fi.
If automatic check-in isn't available or doesn't go through, the app tells you to check in another way. Once you have a valid pass, head to Security or Bag Drop as needed.
easyJet check-in deadlines
The online window is the same for every flight, but the airport cut-off depends on which airport you're flying from.
| Stage | All flights |
|---|---|
| Check-in window opens | 30 days before departure |
| Check-in window closes | 2 hours before departure |
| In-airport check-in | Ground staff may be able to help if your online check-in fails, but only before your flight's bag drop closes. So really, aim to check in online before you arrive at the airport. |
easyJet details that catch people out
Changes can cancel your old boarding pass
Change your easyJet booking after checking in, and the boarding pass you saved might no longer be valid. It happens most often after a flight change or when you add hold luggage.
Go back to your booking and check in again after you've made the change. Replace the old boarding pass on your phone or in your printout, rather than keeping both versions around.
Before you head out, compare the flight details on the pass against your latest booking confirmation. If anything doesn't match, open the booking again and grab the updated pass.
Use a boarding pass the scanner can read
The easyJet app is the safest place for your mobile boarding pass. If you checked in through Opodo, the pass in the Opodo app works just as well. A PDF shown on your phone screen doesn't always work, and airport scanners might not read it.
If you'd rather print, use the whole page and check the barcode isn't cut off or blurred. Fold the paper away from the barcode so it stays flat when it's scanned.
Before you reach the scanner, turn your screen brightness up. It's worth opening the pass while you still have signal too, since airport Wi-Fi can be patchy.
easyJet check-in FAQs
Try again a few minutes later, or switch between the easyJet website and app. Still stuck? Take a screenshot of the error and speak to the ground crew before Bag Drop closes.
No, you'll need it to access the booking. Ask whoever made the booking, whether it's a friend or travel agent, for the reference before you travel.
Not if they're under two and sitting on your lap. An infant with their own seat does need a boarding pass, and you might need airport help if online check-in doesn't cover it.
Yes. Add it through your booking, then check in again and download a replacement boarding pass with the new details.
Yes. You can keep the seat you've been given or pick a different one, though picking a specific seat usually costs extra.
Yes, when automatic check in is available for your booking. If Opodo can't complete it, the app lets you know so you can check in another way.
Yes. Select everyone listed on the booking and check a boarding pass comes through for each person who needs one.
Yes. Go back into the booking and print another copy, and check the full pass and barcode come out clearly.
No. easyJet doesn't have check-in desks at the airport. Online check-in is the only official option. If your online check-in fails due to a technical problem, ground staff can help before bag drop closes, but that's the exception, not the rule.
Try switching to a different browser or closing and reopening the easyJet app. If you're at the airport with no signal, ask the ground crew for help before Bag Drop closes. It's a good reason to print a backup copy at home before you travel, or ask easyJet to reprint one for you at the desk.
