Check-in Process

At CSMIA, we work towards making your airline check-in process a seamless and pleasant experience.

The check-in is located at the departure area - level 4. Passengers can locate the check-in counters of the respective airlines by referring to the information screens on Level 4 that are located near the Terminal entry gates.

The check-in commencement time is usually 4 hours prior to departure and the counters close at least one hour prior to departure. However, the check - in counter allocation is a dynamic process; hence we recommend that you check the allocation of respective airline at departure kerbside signage.

Baggage Rules

There are certain guidelines on items that can be brought into the aircraft. Carry-on and check-in baggage are subject to being hand-searched by the security personnel, especially when the x-ray scan cannot determine its contents.

We request you to co-operate with the security agencies.

Electronic items such as laptop computers and cell phones may be subjected to additional screening. Place your electronics (e.g., laptops, mobile phones, tablets) and metallic items (e.g., keys, coins) in a separate tray.

After clearing security Check, passengers are requested to move towards immigration.

We conduct immigration checks for all passengers, Indians or foreigners, both at the time of arrival and departure. The passports are duly stamped at the time of arrival as well as departure. Passengers should be careful to see that their passports are duly stamped before leaving the immigration counter.

Passengers are required to present valid travel documents i.e. passport and visa (if applicable) before proceeding for immigration clearance.
