ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has started online check-in service to facilitate passengers saving their time at the airport from June 12.

According to an official of Pakistan International Airlines, customers will be allowed to check-in online even before reaching the airport.

The PIA official told APP that, customers will be allowed to check-in online and service will be accessible 24 hours before the flight, until 3 hours of flight.

PIA said service is currently valid for domestic operations only. Moreover the service is currently offered for flights between Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad.

For those who don't know, online check-ins are particularly useful when you are travelling with hand-carry only luggage.

In such cases, you can get your boarding pass well ahead of reaching the airport, get your security cleared and head straight to the gate instead of getting into the queues at the airport.

The PIA said it will extend its online check-in service for other airports very soon.
