Seville Airport
Check-in at the airport
Check-in is the process by which you notify the airline that you are ready to travel. During check-in, the airline verifies your booking, assigns your seat and checks in any hold baggage, if applicable.
Upon arrival at Seville Airport, go to your airline’s assigned check-in counter and present your ID card or passport, together with your ticket or booking reference (the six-character locator code provided when you made your reservation).
If you have baggage to check in, it will be weighed and tagged at the counter. Once the process is complete, you will receive your boarding pass showing your departure time, terminal, boarding area and gate, along with the baggage receipt.
Check-in and boarding: useful information
Passengers should arrive at the check-in counter at least:
- 3 hours before departure for non-Schengen flights. Non-EU passengers may experience additional passport control processing under the EU Entry/Exit System (EES). Allow extra time before departure.
- 1.5-2 hours before departure for Schengen and domestic flights.
- During peak travel periods or special events, queues may be longer than usual.
- Keep an eye on the flight information screens, as gate changes can occasionally occur at short notice.
- If you have already checked in online and have your boarding pass, you may be able to use a baggage drop-off counter if you are travelling with checked luggage.
- Never leave your baggage unattended and do not carry items or luggage for other people, as you are responsible for its contents.
- Before leaving the check-in counter, make sure you have all your belongings with you, including your travel documents, boarding pass and ID or passport.
- Do not carry open or unsealed liquids, gels or drinks, as they may be confiscated at security. Please check current security regulations before travelling.
- Make sure you do not carry open or unsealed liquids, gels, drinks, cans or soft drinks, as they may be rejected at the security checkpoint. Please refer to the regulations and security measures in this regard.
Online check-in
To avoid queues at the airport, many airlines offer online check-in from home, the office or a mobile device.
It is usually available 24 to 48 hours before departure and closes 1 to 2 hours before the flight. It allows the airline to confirm your check-in and, in many cases, lets you choose your seat.
If you expect to exceed your baggage allowance, some airlines allow you to pre-purchase additional baggage during online check-in, often at lower rates than at the airport.
How does online check-in work?
Visit your airline’s website or app and look for the online check-in section. In many cases, you only need your booking reference and surname. Follow the instructions to print your boarding pass or receive a mobile boarding pass (BCBP).
