Before you get started make sure you have the following handy;
- Your flight reference found on your invoice/confirmation - this is not your Thomas Cook booking reference and can be found on the ‘flights’ section of your Thomas Cook invoice labelled ‘airline reference’ or "Flight booking number" depending on when you made your booking. If you're having trouble using your airline reference on your airline’s website, please check you’re using the right letters and numbers as the letters ‘I, O and Z’ can look like the numbers ‘1, 0 and 2’. The reference is a random selection of numbers and letters in any order and could also be made up of just letters.
- or
- Your passport details - The earliest you can check in online is from 24 hours to 1 hour before you’re due to depart. This is the same for most destinations apart from the USA, which closes 2 hours before departure. Don’t forget to check in for your return flight too!
