Aer Lingus offers passengers an easy online check-in process available 48 hours before the scheduled departure. For long-haul flights to and from North America, online check-in opens 24 hours before departure. Travelers can access this feature via the Aer Lingus website or mobile app, allowing seat selection and boarding pass issuance.
The Aer Lingus mobile app provides a seamless check-in experience, allowing travelers to manage their journey from their smartphones. Boarding passes can be saved to your mobile wallet for quick access at security and boarding gates.
For those who prefer traditional methods, Aer Lingus offers airport check-in desks and self-service kiosks at most major airports. Passengers with special needs, excess baggage, or those traveling with children are encouraged to check in at the counter.
Ensure your checked baggage is dropped off at the designated counters within the required timeframe. Aer Lingus typically requires baggage drop-off to be completed at least 45 minutes before departure for European flights and at least 75 minutes for transatlantic services.
It’s advisable to arrive at the airport two hours prior to European flights and three hours for transatlantic routes. This provides ample time for document checks, security screening, and boarding.
