Check-in
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the aviation or hotel term. For the album by The Chalets, see Check In.
Check-in is the process of announcing your arrival at a hotel, airport or sea port.
At an airport, check-in is normally handled by an airline or a handling agent working on behalf of an airline. Passengers usually hand over any baggage they do not wish to carry-on to the aircraft and receive a boarding card before they can proceed to board their flight.
Check-in is normally required at a hotel in order to obtain a room key and provide a credit card guarantee to cover potential costs such as Room Service for the duration of the stay.
