When does Turkish Airlines check-in open?
Turkish Airlines opens online check-in on its website and app 24 hours before departure (kiosks: 12 hours). Online check-in closes 90 minutes before departure for domestic and international flights (check-in desks and kiosks: 45 minutes domestic, 60 minutes international). Airport exceptions: in Caracas you must go to the desk even after online check-in, and Lagos and Kuwait have their own times; there is no separate rule for the USA.
Seat selection on Turkish Airlines
At check-in: ecoFly: only a randomly assigned standard seat is free; choosing a seat (even a standard one) is paid and possible in the window from 24 to 6 hours before departure, and from 6 hours to 90 minutes only random assignment applies (the same on international flights for ExtraFly). Miles&Smiles Elite and Elite Plus members and travelling companions in the PNR choose a standard seat free of charge. Choosing a seat in advance: from 355 days to 6 hours before departure, at booking or in manage booking, only once the ticket is issued; for EcoFly it is paid (international standard 15-60 USD, extra legroom 24-249 USD; domestic standard 220-490 TRY). Without a paid seat: free selection: domestic - ExtraFly (standard), PrimeFly (standard plus front seats); international - FlexFly (standard), PrimeFly (standard plus front seats), up to 90 minutes before departure. Extra legroom and emergency-exit rows are always paid (emergency row: ages 16-65, speaking Turkish or English); these rules do not apply on codeshare flights. After check-in: changing to a seat of the same type is free; extra-legroom and emergency-exit seats cannot be changed. Once the boarding pass is issued, seat changes may no longer be possible.
Boarding pass
A mobile boarding pass (QR) is available in the app, in a mobile browser or by email; it can be printed or added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay; a paper one is free at the desk or kiosk. On international flights with visa checks, or at airports that do not accept digital passes, a mobile boarding pass is not issued and you must go to the desk. Unaccompanied children aged 7-11 (UMNR) cannot check in online; passengers with special services (ill or with reduced mobility) are advised to check in in person. In Caracas you must go to the desk; at "stations with special security measures" and during visa checks, the boarding pass may not be issued online.
Connecting flights
You can check in "end to end" for all segments open for check-in and receive mobile boarding passes; at some connection points (visas, airport rules) the desk is needed, and in Istanbul there is Transit Check-in. USA: check-in to the final destination when the connection is 12 hours or less, and baggage is rechecked at the first US airport.
Changes after check-in
Not online by yourself: for tickets bought online, check-in is cancelled by the call centre at 444 0 849 (ext. 4-2-1); after cancellation the old boarding pass is invalid and you must check in again and print a new one.
1Checkin has checked passengers in on Turkish Airlines flights departing from Accra (ACC), Adana (ADA), Izmir (ADB), Sochi (AER), Malaga (AGP), Almaty (ALA), Amman (AMM) and Amsterdam (AMS), plus 175 more airports.
