What is a boarding pass?

You are now checked in and you have received your boarding pass. But what exactly is a boarding pass? Your boarding pass contains all the important information about your flight. At the airport, you need to show your boarding pass when you go through security and when you get on the plane. You can print your boarding pass at a check-in machine or ask staff at the check-in counter at the airport. You can download a mobile boarding pass on your smartphone. With the QR code, the boarding pass can be scanned at the airport. Tip: take a screenshot of your boarding pass in your mobile so you always have it at hand.


We recommend that you save your boarding pass for any claims or to add flight points afterwards.
