Web check-in and verification
Passengers can check-in online and avoid long airport check-in queues for flights operated by Etihad Airways (not a partner airline). With a few simple clicks, passengers can choose their preferred seat and print their boarding passes. Mobile boarding passes are a convenient option for guests with internet-enabled mobile devices.
To access the mobile boarding pass, all they have to do is complete the online check-in at least three hours before departure using a mobile device. The pass will also be sent to their email address or stored on Passbook (for iPhone users).

With Etihad’s user-friendly mobile app, it is even easier for passengers to make travel plans on the move.
