Check-in

Ensure you check-in for your flight before you arrive at the airport. Check-in for domestic flights opens 24 hours before departure and closes 30 minutes before departure. 

There are four easy options to complete check-in:  ​

If you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer and have a Q Bag Tag, you can use this to tag any baggage you may want to check in when flying within Australia. If you don’t have a Q Bag Tag, you’ll still be able to print baggage tags at a self-serve bag tag kiosk after you’ve checked in online.

If you’ve checked in online and have any questions or problems, one of our Customer Service Agents will be able assist you at the airport.

Customers who require special assistance, unaccompanied minors or large groups, please make yourself known to our friendly customer service agents who will be able to assist you with the check-in process.
