Can I check in online with Smartavia without selecting a seat?

In brief

It is not possible to check in online without selecting a seat. To complete online check-in, you must choose a seat on board — this is a paid service. If you do not want to choose a seat, check in at the airport — a seat will be assigned automatically.

Online check-in is available from 24 hours before departure and closes 3 hours before departure. After that, you can only check in at the airport.

Please note
Online check-in is an optional service. You are not required to use it.

If you do not care about your seat

You can check in at the airport check-in desk. It opens 2–3 hours before departure and closes 40 minutes before departure. At the airport, a seat will be assigned automatically.

Smarty warns
  • Online check-in requires a seat selection (chargeable).
  • After online check-in closes, only airport check-in remains available.
