When Does Air Europa Online Check-In Open and Close?

Air Europa online check-in opens 48 hours before departure for most flights. For flights to the United States, it opens 24 hours before departure.

The airline’s online check-in opening time is different from the airport counter closing time. Air Europa’s published counter deadlines are generally as follows:

Check-in detail	Time or rule
Online check-in opens	48 hours before departure
Flights to the United States	24 hours before departure
Airport counters generally open	2 hours and 30 minutes before departure,subject to airport variation
Domestic and European counter deadline	45 minutes before departure
International flights outside Europe	60 minutes before departure
Certain airports in Latin America	Special counter deadlines apply

Important airport exceptions: Amsterdam counters close 60 minutes before departure, including for domestic and European flights. Counters at Medellín, San Pedro Sula, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and Havana close 90 minutes before departure. Caracas has a 120-minute deadline.

These are airport counter or check-in deadlines, not one universal online check-in closing time. Check the instructions for your specific flight and departure airport, and allow enough time for baggage drop, security, and document checks.

For some connecting itineraries, Air Europa makes online check-in available when fewer than 48 hours remain before the final flight in the itinerary. The result can also depend on which airline operates each segment.

What if your boarding pass has no QR code?

If your boarding pass does not contain a usable QR code or directs you to the airport counter, follow Air Europa’s instruction and visit the counter on the day of departure.

Follow the applicable counter deadline for your route and airport.

Do not assume you can use a boarding pass without a QR code at security or the boarding gate.

Do I Need to Visit the Airport Counter After Online Check-In?

You can generally proceed to security after online check-in if you have a valid boarding pass, only carry-on baggage, and no additional document or airport checks are required. However, you must visit the airport counter to drop checked baggage or complete any required verification.

You may need to visit the counter if:

• You have checked baggage.
• Your resident status or other travel documents need verification.
• Your boarding pass does not have a QR code.
• You are travelling with a pet in the cabin.
• You are an unaccompanied minor.
• You have requested special assistance.

Air Europa advises passengers with checked baggage to visit the airport counter well before the deadline. Check the baggage drop instructions for your departure airport.

Can I Check In Online for an Air Europa International Flight?

Yes, you can check in online for eligible Air Europa international flights. Check-in usually opens 48 hours before departure, except for flights to the United States, which open 24 hours before departure.

Keep your passport, visa and other required travel documents ready. Some journeys require document verification at the airport even after online check-in.

If Air Europa asks you to visit the counter, follow that instruction before proceeding to security.

Can I Check In Online for a Flight to the USA?

Yes, if your flight is eligible for online check-in. Air Europa’s online check-in window for flights to the United States opens 24 hours before departure.

If you try to check in earlier, the flight may not be available yet. If the problem continues after the window opens, review your booking details and follow the instructions provided by Air Europa.

Air Europa Check-In for Connecting Flights

Online check-in for connecting flights depends on the timing of your journey and which airline operates each flight.

Air Europa says check-in for a connecting itinerary becomes available when fewer than 48 hours remain before the final flight. Its website only supports check-in for flights operated by Air Europa.

Your travel situation	What to do
All flights are operated by Air Europa	Check in through Air Europa when your itinerary becomes eligible.
A connecting flight is operated by another airline	Check in through the operating airline’s website or at its airport counter.
The Air Europa website directs you to another airline	Check which airline operates that flight and follow its instructions.

Can I check in online if another airline operates my connecting flight?

Check your itinerary carefully. The airline that sold your ticket may not operate every flight on your journey.

Can I Check In Online When Travelling with a Pet or Requesting Special Assistance?

No, online check-in is not available for every passenger. Air Europa’s online check-in service may not be available for passengers travelling with an animal in the cabin, unaccompanied minors, or passengers with special requirements. These passengers should follow Air Europa’s instructions and check in at the airport counter when directed. 

If any of these situations apply to you:

1. Review the instructions linked to your booking.
2. Confirm any required arrangements with Air Europa.
3. Plan to check in at the airport counter.
4. Arrive early enough to complete the required checks.

Do not assume online check-in will be available simply because you have a confirmed ticket.

• Review whether your booking requires airport check-in.
• Follow the instructions shown on Air Europa’s website.
