Check in at your convenience – now there are four ways to check in for your bmi flight
1. ONLINE CHECK-IN
You can check in online if you have
an electronic ticket on most shorthaul
routes out of London Heathrow and
most bmi regional routes out of
Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Aberdeen,
Edinburgh, Glasgow and Brussels. Routes
will be added over time, so please check
flybmi.com for the full list of live routes.
Online check-in is available from
24 hours to just 30 minutes before
your scheduled departure time, at
flybmi.com/onlinecheckin. You can
choose your seat by using the online
seatmap (excludes tiny fares).
Print out your boarding card at
home and you’re free to go straight
through to departures on arrival at
most airports. If you have baggage
to check in, just take your bmi online
boarding pass to a bmi bag drop at the
airport at least 30 minutes before your
scheduled departure time.
Customers travelling from London
Heathrow, Belfast City, Dublin**,
Edinburgh, Leeds/Bradford and
Manchester can now use our online
fast bag drops***. For more
information, please visit flybmi.com
2. SELF CHECK-IN
Passengers on tiny and standard fares
must check in using bmi self check-in
machines where they are available. These
may also be used by premium economy
and business travellers.
To get your boarding pass, insert your
ticket, or the credit or diamond club card
that you used as ID when you booked your
flight. You can also scan your passport to
identify yourself or, if you booked direct
with flybmi.com, you can enter your
booking reference or scan the barcode on
the email that you receive prior to travel.
Business or premium economy
passengers can reserve a seat for a
colleague: perfect if you want to sit
together, but arrive at different times. You
can choose which seat you’d like by using
the online seatmap (excludes tiny fares).
Passengers with a return check-in
within 24 hours will be automatically
return-checked. Checking in luggage?
Use our fast bag drops – look out for the
signposts. Self check-in machines are
located at London Heathrow, Aberdeen,
Amsterdam, Belfast City, Brussels, Dublin,
Durham Tees Valley, East Midlands,
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hanover, Jersey,
Leeds/Bradford, Manchester and
Norwich airports.
3. PRIORITY CHECK-IN DESK
If you’re flying business or premium
economy, take advantage of our
priority check-in desks. Regardless of
fare choice, bmi diamond club gold
members can also use these desks, and
silver card members can use priority
check-in when they travel on any fare
except tiny fares.
4. bmi WEB POINTS****
ÓAt the airport, there are bmi web
points that give access to flybmi.com.
They’re another convenient way
for you to check in online when you
arrive more than 30 minutes before
your flight. You can also use them
to book flights more than two hours
ahead, and to check your bmi diamond
club account.
