How do you know where to go to check in at airport/airline?

9/5/2017 8:28:45 AM

Check-in is before the serious security check (you won’t get through security without a boarding pass). There will be signs showing you where to check-in for a particular airline.

Departure gate is after security. It’s where you go to actually get on the plane. There will be more signs showing you were the various gates are.

Notes

  • If you don’t have hold luggage, you often don’t go anywhere to
    check-in. You do that online, before you get to the airport and
    either print off the boarding pass, or get a code on the airline’s
    app on your phone. If you haven’t checked in online, at least
    Ryanair will let you check in at the airport – but they will charge
    you extra for it (so remember to do it online).

  • Some airports have a lightweight security check for everyone on entry to the
    building. This is the not the main security check before entry to the secured “airside”. Do not be confused by it.

In Germany, large airports whose terminals are somewhat distant (FRA, MUC) even show on the roadsigns near the airport which airline is located at which terminal. Good luck reading those at 80 km/h, though 🙂

Your ticket, boarding pass or confirmation mail will tell you which terminal to go to (if there’s more than one). Once you’re there, you read the signs and information screens.

once you are in the terminal you can:

approach a information point, they will provide you the info about which counter is the airline and which gate you have to proceed.

or by huge cities or capitals you can see the issue that the airport has more than one Terminal, in such cases the Airline is always giving you that info as soon as you do the check in…

they will have a huge departure time table… there you can spot your flight

The first thing to do is go to the departure screens, which list not the departure gates, but the check-in rows, or aisles, for all airlines. You go there, look for the airline (sometimes the same aisle can serve two airlines), and wait in line.

The departure gate is where you will board the plane. You’ll see screens with the flight numbers and gates, after security and immigration checks.

Easiest way is to read the signs.

In small airport there is only a small set of check in counters, just read the sign behind each to determine which airline is checking in there.

In larger airports there is either a electronic signboard telling you what row or area each airline is located or signs outside the various entrance doors to indicate which airline inside.

The departure gates are in a secure area and you can’t go there until after you have checked in. About the only time you would check in at the departure gate would be if you are flying in from another airport on another ticket.
