Online check-in is one of the easiest ways to make your flight smoother. Flying from Tbilisi (TBS), Kutaisi (KUT) or Batumi (BUS), checking in online lets you pick your seat in advance, skip the check-in queue and have your boarding pass on your phone.
Why online check-in is worth it
- ⏱ Skip the check-in queue — go straight to bag drop or Security
- 💺 Pre-select your seat — window, aisle or bulkhead
- 📱 Mobile boarding pass — no printing needed
- ✅ Mandatory for Wizz Air — missing it costs €50-80 at the airport
- 💰 Add baggage online — 2-3× cheaper than at the airport
Wizz Air — check-in window
Wizz Air opens check-in 30 days before departure for WIZZ Go or Priority ticket holders, and 48 hours before for standard tickets. Online check-in is mandatory with Wizz Air — failing to check in on the website or app incurs a €50-80 fee at the airport.
