Airport Check-in
As online check-in isn't available, passengers must check in at the airport. Airport check-in counters close 30 minutes before departure and any passenger late for check-in would be considered a 'no show' and the seat would be transferred to any standby passengers.
At Alternative Airlines, we recommend passengers to arrive at the airport two hours before departure to avoid any unexpected delays. When passengers arrive at the airport, the airline's designated check-in area should be clearly marked at the airport information board and the check-in counters would have the airline logo on display.
