Sunexpress Online Check-in

Check-in at the airport

For all international flights, the check-in procedures start from approximately 2,5 hours until 45 minutes prior to your departure. For all domestic flights, check-in is available from two hours until 30 minutes prior to your departure.

If you would like to save time at the airport and keep all contact to a minimum, we recommend that you use our convenient online check-in service from the comfort of your home. You should plan to arrive at the airport earlier than usual.

For our international flights, we request kindly that you arrive at the gate at least 45 minutes before departure and that you have your boarding card ready for boarding. For our flights within Turkey, we kindly request that you arrive at the gate with your boarding card at least 30 minutes prior to departure.

We would like to clearly point out that a late arrival at the departure gate means that you will forfeit your right to your flight – the check-in time is calculated so as to ensure your flight goes smoothly. Presenting yourself after the deadline time may lead to a refusal to allow you board the flight.
