Does AirBaltic offer Twilight check-in?
Yes. If your flight departs from Riga airport, you are most welcome to use the Twilight check-in service – letting you check-in for your flight and drop off your luggage from 7pm to 10pm on the day before your scheduled departure. This allows you to go directly to security control and on to your departure gate on the day of departure. Please take into account that there may be lines at security control, so we recommend arriving at the airport early enough, so you can be at the boarding gate at least 25 minutes before your flight departure.

Yes. If your flight departs from Riga, Stockholm Arlanda or Copenhagen airport, you can print your boarding pass at one of the self check-in kiosks located in the departure hall.

You will have to enter your booking reference and family name, mark passengers you want to be checked in for the flight and wait for your boarding pass to be printed out. If you are checking a bag, use the baggage drop-off counter free of charge.
What is the deadline for self-service kiosk check-in? The check-in deadline corresponds with the check-in deadline of your flight, which at Riga airport is 40 minutes for Economy Class passengers and 30 minutes for Business Class passengers.
Please note that if you have baggage to drop off, you need to arrive at the airport even earlier, because the deadlines for baggage drop-off are also 40 minutes for Economy Class passengers and 30 minutes for Business Class passengers. Please also take into account that there may be lines by the baggage drop-off points, therefore we recommend arriving at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight departure.
