Conditions before boarding

In order to fully enjoy a flight on TUIfly, it is important to know the boarding conditions of this airline. For optimal passenger comfort, the Belgian carrier invites its travelers to consult their website to check ticket prices and print their boarding pass directly online 30 minutes or 1 hour before the flight. Check-in can also be done online or at the TUIfly check-in desks at the airport.

Regarding luggage, TUIfly limits individual hand luggage to a maximum of 6 kg. Checked baggage is also limited to one suitcase per person, with a total weight of 20 kg. A 30 kg allowance is also granted to persons traveling in pairs, but each piece of luggage must be limited to 20 kg. This means that each excess baggage is paid for by the traveler according to the conditions in force.

Airplane boarding deadline

Passengers are also advised to arrive at the airport 2 or 3 hours before departure to avoid missing a flight. Boarding generally closes 45 minutes before departure for all destinations.

A boarding pass is a document provided by an airline during check-in, authorizing a passenger to enter the restricted area of ​​an airport and board the aircraft for a particular flight. At a minimum, it identifies the passenger, the flight number and the scheduled date and time of departure. In some cases, flyers can check in online and print the boarding passes themselves. A boarding pass may be required for a passenger to enter a secure area of ​​an airport.

Usually, a passenger with an electronic ticket will only need a boarding pass. If a passenger has a paper plane ticket, it may be necessary for that ticket (or flight coupon) to be attached to the boarding pass in order for them to board the plane. For “connecting flights”, a boarding pass is required for each new leg (distinguished by a different flight number), whether or not another aircraft is on board.

The paper boarding pass (and ticket, if applicable), or part of it, is sometimes collected and counted for cross-checking of passenger numbers by gate agents, but is more frequently scanned ( barcode or magnetic strip). Standards for barcodes and magnetic stripes on boarding passes are published by IATA. Standard Barcode (BCBP) defines the 2D barcode printed on paper boarding passes or sent to mobile phones for electronic boarding passes.

Most airports and airlines have automatic readers that will check the validity of the boarding pass at the TUIFly Belgium gate or at the boarding gate. It also automatically updates the airline’s database that indicates the passenger has boarded and the seat is in use, and that checked baggage for that passenger can remain on board. This speeds up the paperwork process at the gate, but requires passengers with paper tickets to check in, hand in the ticket and receive the scanned boarding pass.

The boarding pass usually contains the following information:

• The code (the two letters before the flight number, on the plane ticket, sometimes also called airlines – code)
• The flight number
• The flight number (door)
• The seat number (formerly including the declaration as smoking / non-smoking seat) is omitted (or by additional payment) at low cost airlines such as TUI Fly the estimated time of boarding.

If the passenger has not already received a separate “baggage tag”, he receives information on his check in the form of a sticker affixed to the passenger section of the boarding pass (demolition of the punched card required with an additional handwritten note in checked baggage (not in hand baggage, which may be brought on board by the passenger).
