Online Check-in

- Casablanca

Restrictions
The Online Check-in service is unavailable for:
- Passengers traveling with infants.
- Unaccompanied Minors.
- Travelers in need of special assistance (wheelchair, stretcher etc.).
Passengers who performed the Online Check-in must arrive at the airport within certain time limits, depending on whether they possess luggage or not. Those with luggage should be there at least 3 hours in advance, while those without can be present at the airport 1 hour before departure for domestic flights, and 1 hour and a half for international flights.
Boarding
In order for the passengers not to risk missing their flights, they are advised to remember the time limits noted on their travelling tickets, since some airports and terminals might be away from each other.
If you are not present at the boarding gate 15 minutes before flight departure, they might be unable to board and their baggage offloaded.
