Malaysia Airlines Web Check-In

This is a way to bypass those long check-in queues. By using the web check-in facility on Malaysia Airlines website, you check in and print your own boarding pass yourself. I did so for a flight from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur. It's easy and convenient.

To get started, you'll need the following:
1. E-ticket number
2. Internet access
3. PDF reader (adobe acrobat)
4. Printer.

In five simple steps, you're checked-in and ready to board the plane. The five steps are:
1. Identification - key in e-ticket no.
2. Select passengers, if there are more than one passenger listed.
3. APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) - you must indicate your nationality.
4. Confirmation of details - check/change your seat no, frequent flier/enrich membership no.
5. Print the boarding pass - this where you'll need the pdf reader and printer.

There you are, set to go and fly off. If you have baggage to check-in, you'll need to go to the airport at least 60 minutes before flight departure time to check-in the luggage.

Another thing to remember is that you can check in anytime between 90 minutes to 24 hours before flight departure time. How cool huh.
