JetStar Check-In and Boarding

JetStar allows you to check-in on its domestic and international flights in a number of ways. This allows you to get the boarding pass through different means and a lot of flexibility and convenience.

2. Kiosk Check In (allowed for flights with Australia and New Zealand)

3. Airport Check In

It is important for passengers to know from which terminal flights are departing because some of the domestic flights also depart from the international terminals.

JetStar Online Check In

Domestic Flights

Online check-in on domestic flights of Australia and NZ can be done as many as 28 days before the date of flight and up to 1 hour before the scheduled departure time of the flight. This gives a lot of time and flexibility to the flyers.

However, on domestic flights of JetStar Japan and JetStar Pacific online or web check in can be done only 2 days before and up to 1 hour before the scheduled departure time of flight.

If you are carrying check in bags, these need to be left at the drop-off boxes at the airport.

If you are travelling on domestic flight departing from the international terminal, online check in can be done but the identification has to be presented at the check-in counter before flying. So, some time will certainly go and it will not be as smooth.

International Flights

Online check in facility on JetStar is not available on international flights from/to Australia and New Zealand. This facility is also not available on flights of JetStar Japan and JetStar Pacific.

For passengers eligible for Straight to Gate International Flights (which are select 3K-coded JetStar Asia flights within Asia region), online check in is available 24 hours and up to 2 hours before flight departure time as scheduled.

Boarding pass for international flights of JetStar Airways, JetStar Pacific and JetStar Japan is to be issued at the check-in counter of the airport. You can make use of the mobile boarding passes for the domestic flights of these airlines.
