How to check in online with Smartwings

  1. Have your booking reference and ID ready

    You'll need a 6-character booking reference (PNR) and a valid travel document (passport or EU/EEA national ID).

  2. Open the official check-in page

    Use the button at the top of this page or visit smartwings.com directly. Avoid third-party "check-in" sites.

  3. Enter passenger details

    Add passport / ID number, expiry date, and country of issue if travelling internationally. This step is mandatory and blocks check-in if skipped.
