easyJet check-in information
Checking in to easyJet flights is simple: it can be done using the easyJet website or in the app under "Manage Bookings". Check-in is available up to 30 days or just 2 hours before your flight departs; however, do make sure that you check in prior to your flight as failure to do so may risk missing your flight. If any information concerning your flight has changed e.g. you changed the name, added luggage or your flight time has changed, then simply check in again and print off a new boarding pass.
In order to check in, you must have filled out your identification information, called Advanced Passenger information (API). This includes your name, address and passport number when you can fill out during online check-in, for example. Whether or not this ID is required will depend on the route you're taking; but failing to present it upon request will mean you can't board the flight.
