Before boarding a flight, you have to check-in, after which you are given a boarding pass to enable you board the flight. Traditionally, check-in was done at the airport at the check-in counter of the airline. But with the advancement in technology, most notably ICT, airlines now have online check-in feature as part of their online airline booking platforms. Online check-in makes things easy for travelers and saves cost for airlines.

All the six Nigerian airlines we currently track; namely Air Peace, Aero airlines, Dana air, FirstNation airways, Arik air, and Air Nigeria have facility for checking in online on their flight booking platform.
Checking in for an airline flight online is not a license to come in late for your flight. Most airlines require that you come in for boarding not later than an hour before the departure time if you check-in online.
International flights may require more time. Online check-in works best for hand luggage customers.
