What is Boarding Pass
Boarding pass at airports is very important document to fly in airplane as it has every information like your name, terminal no (t1, t2, t3), flight details with time, zone, gate, seat no, class, boarding time and date.
This ticket shaped document allows you to board on plane and usually you get it at the airline counter or check-in bag counter. Though an eBoarding pass is enough to board plane and travel, but it is recommended to carry a physical copy of boarding pass as it is secure, can be shown easily, and sometimes required at the immigration counter.
But in some countries, this facility is not available. The airline crew is not there to provide physical copy of boarding pass. Hence you need to print your boarding pass using the self boarding pass printing machines which the airport authority has installed at number of points just before the security check.
This machine you can use for web check-in + you can also print the boarding pass and proceed for security check or for immigration.
Note: Where self-boarding machines are installed, there you also need to self submit your check-in bag at the check-in-counter and tag luggage.
