How to check in with easyJet
easyJet check-in at a glance
You need to check in with easyJet online or in the app before you fly. There are no designated easyJet check-in desks at the airport anymore. If your online check-in doesn't go smoothly, ground staff can help in the terminal. However, the expectation is for all travellers to have checked in prior to arrival.
easyJet check-in windows:
- Online and app check-in opens: 30 days before departure.
- Online and app check-in closes: 2 hours before departure.
Prefer hands-off check-in? Let eDreams handle it automatically, and they'll send your boarding pass straight to your phone as soon as easyJet makes it available.
easyJet's check-in rules can change, so check the airline's official website or contact easyJet directly for the latest information before you travel.
easyJet check-in: step by step
Pick the option that matches your booking and where you're at in the process.
Most people use this route, since it lets you sort everything before you even leave home. Open Manage Bookings on easyJet's website or in the app, then enter your booking reference and surname.
Fill in the details for everyone travelling. Take a moment to double-check spelling and dates so easyJet can get your boarding pass exactly right.
Pick a seat if you want to pay. Skip this and easyJet assigns one.
Select everyone and every flight you want to check in. Finish before the online window closes (check the deadlines table below). Download your pass in the easyJet app or print a clear copy before you leave home.
Only have hand luggage? Head straight to Security. Checking a bag? Take your boarding pass to the easyJet Bag Drop area first.
If your online check-in fails, ground staff can help you at the airport. This is your only option, so get to them before bag drop closes. Be prepared for it to take time, as they're not set up for check-in queries.
Look up your flight on the airport screens, then follow the orange easyJet signs to Bag Drop or the ground staff.
Have your passport (or accepted ID) and booking reference ready. Make sure they match the details you entered on the booking, and bring any visa your destination requires.
Explain the problem to the agent and show them the error message, if you have one. They'll sort it.
Once that's fixed, head to Bag Drop with your luggage. At airports with self-service machines, you'll usually print and attach the tag yourself.
Check the flight and name are correct, hang onto the bag receipt if you checked luggage, then head to Security.
If you'd rather not deal with check in yourself, book your easyJet flight through eDreams and it'll show up automatically in the eDreams app.
Go to My Trips and select your easyJet booking, then check that everyone and every flight you want handled is listed there.
Choose automatic check-in when it's available for your booking. Fill in whatever details the app asks for and double-check them before confirming.
eDreams waits for easyJet's check-in window to open, then submits the request for you. No need to keep checking the booking yourself.
Once it's done, the eDreams app sends you the boarding pass. Save it to your phone before you leave home so you're not relying on airport Wi-Fi to open it.
If automatic check in isn't available or easyJet needs more from you, the app will explain what to do next. At the airport, it's Security for hand luggage or Bag Drop for a hold bag.

Useful details before you fly
Changes can cancel your old boarding pass
Changed your flight or added something to the booking after checking in? Your saved boarding pass might not match the updated booking anymore, so open the trip again and check in once more.
Download or print the new pass after any change. Don't rely on the old copy, even if the flight number looks the same, since the barcode might not scan anymore.
Open the new pass before heading to the airport and double-check the date and flight. Delete the old one from your phone wallet or downloads folder so you don't scan the wrong pass at Security.
Your boarding pass and cabin bag
Your boarding pass shows your cabin bag allowance. Everyone gets one small bag that fits under the seat as standard. If you've added a larger cabin bag to your booking, it'll be listed on your pass. Take a quick look at what's shown before you head to the airport. It only takes a moment and stops you getting any surprises at bag drop.
If you spot a mistake or need a larger allowance, ask at bag drop. Some changes can be made on the day, though what's available varies.
