How to access and use your boarding pass
A boarding pass is an official document that allows you to board an aircraft. It is issued by the airline after successful check-in and contains important information about your flight, seat assignment, and passenger details.
After successful check-in, your boarding pass can be accessed in several ways:
Tip: Save your boarding pass in multiple formats (screenshot, PDF, email) to ensure you always have access.
