Good to know
- Check-in covers everyone in the booking at once; individual travellers cannot be checked in separately. Group bookings use the website.
- Seat choice, contact details, booking changes, name changes and extra services such as baggage are handled online until check-in closes at your airport.
- Bring a valid ID card or passport as the destination requires; a driving licence is not enough.
- A child seat must be checked at the counter, so online check-in is not possible then.
- Hand liquids: up to 1,000 ml in containers of 100 ml or less, in a resealable 1-litre bag.
- Airlines must collect extra passenger data (APIS) for certain destinations such as the USA.

1 question and answers
For Web or mobile check in, do you require passengers to print their boarding passes? or would having the boarding passes in the phone be fine?
Also if printing the boarding pass is required, would there be a check in counter in the Berlin Tegel airport where I can do my check in there for my May 1 flight to Paris ? I will not have access to a printer.
Thank you
You are required to take a print out of the boarding pass.
