Why queue up at the Check-in Desk when you can check yourself in using our quick and easy-to-use Self Check-in Machines?

Who Can Use Self Check-in?

Self Check-in Machines are available at most bmi airports within the UK and Ireland. They close 30 minutes prior to departure for UK Domestic and Western European shorthaul flights, and 45 minutes prior to departure for all other routes (5 minutes extra with baggage).

Economy customers travelling on a shorthaul route must use either a Self Check-in Machine, where available, or our Online Check-in service.

Business or Flexible Economy customers, and Diamond Club Gold or Silver members have the option of using either a Self Check-in Machine or the manned Check-in Desks.

How Do I Use Self Check-in?

Using our Self Check-in Machines is simple:

  • Find a self check‐in kiosk near the bmi check‐in desks at the airport
  • Follow the machine’s on screen instructions - to identify your reservation, either use your booking reference, e-ticket number, credit card or frequent flyer card, or you may scan your passport or ID card*
  • Collect your documents from the machine
  • If you only have hand baggage, go straight to security and the departure gate or lounge
  • If you have bags to check in then proceed to a bmi Bag Drop, where available.

* The receipt will only be printed if you request it, and, if it has has not previously been printed
