ARTICLE 6 CHECK IN AND BOARDING

6.1 Check-in Deadlines are different at every airport and we recommend that you inform yourself about these Check-in Deadlines and honour them. Your journey will be smoother if you allow yourself ample time to comply with the Check-in Deadlines. As a minimum, we advise you to present yourself for check-in no less than 120 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of your flight. See also Article 9.1.4.

6.2 We reserve the right to cancel your reservation or change your seat assignment within your ticketed class of carriage if you do not comply with the Check-In deadlines indicated or fail to complete our Check-In (including Bag Drop) formalities 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of your flight, which ever is longer. We or our Authorised Agents will advise you of the Check-in Deadline for your flight with us. For any subsequent flights in your journey, you should infom yourself of the Check-In Deadlines. Check-In Deadlines for our flights can be found in our timetable, or may be obtained from us or our Authiorised Agents.

6.3 You must be present at the boarding gate not later than the time specified by us at the time you check in.

6.4 We may decide to cancel the space reserved for you or change your seat assignment within your ticketed class of carriage if you fail to arrive at the boarding gate in time.

6.5 We will not be liable to you for any loss or expense incurred due to your failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 6.
