Check-in

Are you departing from our airport soon? We are happy to give you important information and some tips for your departure and a successful journey.

Check-in at Rotterdam The Hague Airport can be done in several ways. The fastest way is to check in online at home. It is also possible to check in at the airport.

Check in online at home 
Most airlines offer you the option to check in online, choose your own seat and download your (mobile) boarding pass yourself. When you have downloaded or printed your boarding pass and you are travelling with only hand luggage, you don’t have to go to the check-in desks. You can go directly to security and then to your gate.

Checking in at the airport
You can check in at one of the check-in desks at the airport. How far in advance you can do this depends on the airline you are flying with. Always make sure you have your passport or identity card at hand. Have you already checked in online, but do you still need to check in luggage? Then you can use Scan & Fly. This allows you to check in your luggage yourself easily.

Use the self-service baggage drop-off points
More and more airlines allow you to have your luggage checked in automatically. If this is the case and you have already checked in at home, you can use the baggage drop-off points at the airport. In this case, take into account the baggage rules of the airline you are flying with. At the self-service baggage drop-off, follow the instructions on the screen. Print your luggage tag and attach it to the handle on the longest side of your luggage.

Travelling with your pet
If you are travelling with your pet, check-in is  different. The rules for flying with a pet differ per airline. Check with the airline you are flying with, what you should pay attention to before you check in or take your pet on the plane.
