Malaysia Airlines Check-In and Boarding

Malaysia Airlines allows check-in in a number of ways- airport, kiosk, web and mobile. 

Self Service Kiosks

Using this  method, passengers are able to:

It is mandatory for all passengers travelling on economy class tickets except for flights to Kathmandu and Dhaka.

I have completed my web check in and got the boarding pass downloaded, but I have no printer access at the moment, is it mandatory to print the boarding pass or can I collect it at the airport counter. RAO

Admin Reply :

You have not mentioned the departure airport for the purpose of your query. You do have the option of printing the boarding pass at the kiosks at the airport or take it from the airport check-in counter. You shall check whether the airport has kiosk for this purpose and whether there are any special charges for printing these or not.

I plan to check in via mhmobile, read in a web that if I plan to use my phone to scan for boarding pass then only one pass is allowed. How about the second passenger ? If I screenshot the details and send to them. Does it work the same way? Or better to print out? Tq

Admin Reply :

Some countries mandatorily require print out of the boarding pass for boarding purpose due to security concerns. Therefore, it is always good to have the boarding passes in printed format along with the mobile boarding passes.
