For domestic IndiGo flights, web check-in is available from 48 hours before scheduled departure and closes 60 minutes before departure. Completing it early gives you the widest seat choice and lets you reach the airport with a boarding pass already in hand. If you miss the online window, airport counter and self-service check-in are available up to roughly 60 minutes before departure. Always confirm the exact cut-off for your airport on goindigo.in, as some stations differ.
For international IndiGo flights, web check-in opens 24 hours before scheduled departure and closes 75 minutes before. The shorter lead time reflects the extra time needed for immigration and document checks at the airport. Plan to arrive well before the counter cut-off, typically around 75 minutes prior, since boarding gates close earlier than many travellers expect. Verify the precise window for your specific international route and airport on goindigo.in or your booking confirmation.
Go to the web check-in section on goindigo.in or open the IndiGo app, enter your six-character PNR and the lead passenger's last name, and follow the prompts. Select seats from the map, where available free seats are highlighted, add any extras, and then generate your boarding pass. You can download it as a PDF, save it to the app, or have it sent by email and SMS. Group bookings can usually be checked in together.
During web check-in you can pick or change your seat subject to availability and your fare. Some standard seats may be free while front-row, extra-legroom and preferred seats carry a charge, and certain fares such as Flexi or UpFront include complimentary seat selection. If you do not choose a seat, the system assigns one automatically. To guarantee a specific seat, select it as early in the window as possible. See seat options on goindigo.in.
After web check-in your boarding pass is delivered digitally and can be shown on your phone at security and boarding, or printed if you prefer. At many Indian airports you can use DigiYatra for a paperless, face-recognition entry that speeds up the security queue. Keep a valid photo ID, and for international travel your passport and any visas, ready for verification. Mention DigiYatra availability and requirements are detailed on goindigo.in.
Web check-in does not remove the need to hand over hold baggage. If you have bags to check, drop them at IndiGo's dedicated bag-drop counters before the counter cut-off, which is broadly 60 minutes prior for domestic and 75 minutes prior for international flights. Travelling with only cabin baggage lets you skip the counter entirely and go straight to security. Confirm bag-drop deadlines for your airport on goindigo.in.
