SWISS E-boarding Pass Formats For Airports

This article once listed the boarding pass format that each airport accepted. SWISS no longer publishes that list. It now describes two routes to a mobile boarding pass, which are summarised here.

Online check-in

Retrieve the reservation with your name plus either the 6-character reference or the ticket number.
Log in with a SWISS Travel ID, which you can set up on the spot.
Supply the passport or visa details your route requires.
Pick seats for the whole group and add bags or upgrade options.

The online window begins 24 hours ahead of departure. Seats are free on some routes and classes and paid on others.

Automatic check-in

SWISS emails a mobile boarding pass 16 to 20 hours before departure.
You can go straight to the gate with hand baggage only.
It works for bookings of up to nine people.
If no boarding pass or message has arrived 16 hours before departure, you were not checked in automatically. Every other check-in option still works.
Automatic check-in is not offered on some connections, including flights from Dubrovnik, Nis, Pula, Split, Tirana and Toulon.

Bag tags

With online check-in you can prepare the tag for your checked bag at home on many routes. SWISS supports a home-printed tag and the RIMOWA electronic tag.

Remember

Some countries need extra passenger information before you may enter, which you can add during check-in.
Partner-operated flights follow the partner airline's check-in method.

Check-in times and desks are covered in SWISS airport check-in.

Earlier list

This is the list from the earlier version of this article. We could not confirm it on the airline's current pages, so check your own airport before you travel.

Different airports where SWISS International Airlines flies have different rules of accepting the eboarding pass of the airline. Some might accept the mobile save eboarding pass while for others, a print out would be mandatory. Following is the list of airports and the formats in which eboarding passes are acceptable:
