Murcia Airport
Check-in at the airport
The check-in process tells the airline that the passenger has made the last process and is ready to boarding. In this process, the airline registers passengers and assigns them their seats on the aircraft; baggage is also checked in (if applicable).
It can be done in person at the airport or online, which is known as web check-in or check-in online.
Verify on arrival at the airport which check-in counter is designated for your airline. At the counter, provide the airline staff with your documentation and/or passport, your ticket or the reservation's locator code, which consists of six numbers or letters, and which is provided to you when you make your reservation.
If you have luggage to check in, that is, luggage or packages that will go in the baggage area of the plane, that baggage must be presented at the check-in counter, where it will be weighed and labeled. Once the check-in process is finished, the passenger will be given a boarding pass with printed information on the departure of their flight: expected flight time, terminal, boarding zone and gate, and the receipt of checked-in baggage.
If the gate has not yet been scheduled, it will be shown on the information screens as the time of departure of the flight approaches. Do not hesitate to ask the staff at the check-in counters if you have any questions.
Please make sure that you carry all of your belongings with you before leaving the check-in counter: personal documents, boarding pass, and ID or passport.
Check-in and boarding: keep in mind
The passenger should be at the check-in counter at least with :
For No Schengen flights: 3 hours prior the departure scheduled time.
For Schengen and domestic flights: 2 hours prior the departure scheduled time.
Note that there might be many people at peak travel periods or special event dates.
Keep an eye on the information panels, as there may exceptionally occur last-minute changes.
If you have already checked in online: when you have your boarding pass printed out, your baggage is checked in at once. Ask if your airline has a quick check-in or baggage drop-off counter (for baggage drop-off only).
Never leave your baggage or bags unattended - always carry them with you.
Do not check in luggage from strangers in your name, nor take it with you as hand luggage, as you will be solely responsible for its contents upon any possible search at security controls.
Please make sure that you carry all of your belongings with you before leaving the check-in counter: personal documents, boarding pass, and ID or passport.
Make sure you do not carry open or unsealed liquids, gels, drinks, cans or soft drinks, as they may be rejected at the security checkpoint. Please refer to the regulations and security measures in this regard.
