There are some reasons why you may not be able to check in. If you are encountering difficulties, we provide you a guide to help you solve them.
-
Error when entering data: at check-in you must enter your last name(s) and reservation number as registered at the time of purchase.
- To verify this information, please check the confirmation email you received after making your purchase.
- The data with the information you have to enter can be found on the top left-hand side of the email. In the first row you will find the surname and in the second row the booking code. Confirm that you have entered the date of the day you have scheduled your flight.
- Time is not yet available: verify that you are doing your online check-in 48 hours before your domestic or international flight and 24 hours before if you are traveling from the United States or Canada. If you try to do it before the established time, the system will not be available.
- When your booking includes special services: if you have requested special assistance, your reservation may require additional confirmations. For example, when you travel with pets, emotional support dogs, people who require special assistance, among others.
- Your booking includes multiple travelers: verify if your companions checked in first if you are traveling with a group reservation or have more than one person under your booking. In these cases, whoever checks in first must do so for all the people under the reservation.
- The booking includes flights with other airlines: online check-in is only enabled on routes directly covered by avianca, if your flight has connections with other airlines you will only be able to check the routes operated by us.
- The booking has pending changes to be processed: if you made a change to your booking, it may not have been processed yet and the ticket has not been linked correctly to the new itinerary. It may appear pending payment or without new tickets generated, in this case it will be necessary for you to contact us to finalize it.
Keep in mind:
- If you encounter any issues when attempting to check in online, take a screenshot and present it to the airport counter on the day of your flight. You will be able to continue with the process without additional charges.
- If your boarding pass does not have a seat assigned, you must continue the seat assignment process with our staff at the boarding gate. Please remember to show the boarding pass you obtained during check-in.
