Yes, you'll need to print each boarding pass clearly on an individual piece of A4 paper. The barcode on the pass will need to be scanned at the airport, so the page mustn't have any rips or tears. Your boarding pass is an official security document, so you'll need to keep it safe until you reach your destination. Just so you know, we can't accept any unclear, faded or blurry boarding passes.

If you can't print your boarding passes, you can collect them from the TUI bag drop desk when you arrive at the airport.

TUI flights
You'll need to bring your home printed boarding pass or confirmation of check-in document and your passport to show before you board the plane. 

The same service is also available for the following airlines: 
Air Europa, Albastar, ASL Airlines France, ASL Airlines Ireland, Evelop Airlines, Germania, Norwegian, Travel Service, Volotea. 
 
Your boarding pass
When you check in online, you'll get boarding passes or Confirmation of Check In for both your outward and return flights. You'll need to print out each boarding pass on its own individual A4 page. If you can't print them, you can collect them from the TUI bag drop desk or at the desk of your airline when you arrive at the airport.

If you're unsure why you received a Confirmation of Check-in rather than a Boarding Pass please see "Why did I get a Confirmation of Check-in document instead of a boarding pass when I checked in online?"

Your boarding pass will have a barcode that needs to be scanned, so there should be no rips and tears in it. It's an official security document, so you'll need to keep it safe until you've arrived at your destination. We can't accept any unclear, faded or blurry boarding passes, and we reserve the right to deny boarding or cancel your reservation if you don't have the documentation you need. 

If you can't print your boarding passes, you can collect them from any TUI Holiday Store, or from the TUI bag drop desk when you arrive at the airport.

If you're travelling with TUI or any of the airlines listed below just to the USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, Costa Rica or Thailand, you'll get a Confirmation of Check-in document which you'll need to print at home, instead of the usual boarding pass. This is because of the different regulations for travelling to these countries or travelling with another airline.

- Air Europa (flight prefix AEA)
- Albastar (flight prefix JQ)
- ASL Airlines France (flight prefix FPO)
- ASL Airlines Ireland (flight prefix ABR)
- Evelop Airlines (flight prefix EVE)
- Germania (flight prefix ST)
- Norwegian (flight prefix D8)
- Travel Service (flight prefix QS)
- TUI operated by Norwegian (flight prefix BY)
- Volotea (flight prefix VOE)

What you need to do
If you've got a Confirmation of Check-in document, it means you're checked-in, with your seat numbers and baggage confirmed. However, you'll need to go to one of the Airline bag drop desks when you get to the airport to swap your Confirmation of Check-in document for boarding passes. You'll need the boarding pass when you go through security.

If you can't print the confirmation of check-in document, please go to the Airline bag drop desk when you arrive at the airport, and you'll be given your boarding passes.
