To check in for your flight, all that the airline officials at the airport will need is your form of identification and reference number. For international flights, you will also need to have your passport and any visas with you.<\/p>\n<p>Many international airlines advise passengers to print out electronic tickets ahead of time to avoid long queues at check-in. You can do this if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few international airlines that allow passengers to simply download your boarding pass onto your mobile phone, have it printed out, or easily just mailed to your personal email address.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to collect your tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Nowadays, it is very popular to have your ticket sent to your email where you can print it from the comfort of your home or work office. Once we receive payment, your e-ticket and boarding pass will be sent to you, simply download it to your mobile device and present it at the security check. Please note that you may still have to queue at your designated airline\u2019s check-in counter if you have luggage to check in.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d prefer to collect your ticket at our office, we&#8217;ll let you know when we are able to open our doors to customers.
