KLIA Check-in Guides

Check-in is usually the first procedure for a passenger when arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), as airline regulations require passengers to check in by certain times prior to the departure of a flight.

To help you make the best use of your time, KLIA offer various services to check you in and let you be on your way to your destination.

Advance Check-In

You are encouraged to check-in your baggage in advance. You may do so as early as eight hours ahead of your scheduled time of departure to avoid peak check-in queues. In doing so, you may be able to enjoy a better seat selection as well.

Return Check-In

With this service, boarding passes for both departure and return flights within Malaysia can be issued together when you check-in for your departing flight. You need not check-in again for your return flight. However, do take note that this service is only applicable when:

- both flights are on the same calendar day
- your return flight has been confirmed
- you have no baggage to check-in on your return flight
