What does check-in mean?

Check-in is a job in civil aviation. It is to go through the check-in procedures for passengers (changing boarding passes, collecting and transporting passengers' checked luggage, and arranging passengers' seats).

Check-in procedures:

1. After arriving at the airport, go directly to the check-in counter of the airline to which the ticket belongs. You can find your flight number in the lobby of the departure floor with the big screen of the ticket handling information system, and then go to the corresponding counter to go through the formalities. In addition to the cashier's note, bring your ID card to go through the check-in procedures. If you buy an electronic ticket, you can go directly to the check-in counter with your ID card.

2. Then the check-in staff will give you your boarding pass, which shows your seat number and boarding gate, so follow the signs of the airport to the nearest security area for security check.

3. After the final security check, check the boarding gate on your boarding pass according to the signs in the waiting hall. Just sit and wait when you find it. While waiting, pay attention to the airport broadcast or the instructions of the staff at this boarding gate, because they will tell you when to start boarding.
