ANA allows passengers to check in online starting 24 hours before their flight’s scheduled departure time. This applies to both international and domestic flights. For international flights, the online check-in window closes 75 minutes before the flight takes off. For domestic flights within Japan, online check-in closes 20 minutes before departure. If you are traveling with checked luggage, it is important to drop off your bags at the airport baggage counter well before the flight. For international flights, baggage drop closes 60 minutes before departure. For domestic flights, it usually closes between 20 and 30 minutes before the plane leaves. ANA advises passengers to arrive at the airport early enough to complete all necessary procedures. For international travel, arriving at least three hours before departure is recommended to allow time for check-in, security screening, and immigration processes. For domestic flights, arriving one hour before the scheduled departure is sufficient in most cases. When you arrive at the airport, ANA offers self-service kiosks that allow you to check in quickly, select or change your seat, and print your boarding pass without waiting in line. If you need any help, such as traveling with infants, requiring special assistance, or handling complicated travel documents, you should check in at the staffed counters. It’s also important to note that if your flight is operated by a partner airline under a codeshare agreement, check-in procedures may differ, so you should follow the instructions provided by the operating carrier. Always prepare your travel documents ahead of time, including your passport, visa if needed, and any health or entry requirements mandated by your destination country. By following these recommendations and checking in early, you will have a smooth and stress-free start to your ANA flight.
