Japan Airlines' automated check-in service and automated baggage check-in machines
When using domestic flights in Japan, check-in and bag check-in can be completed at a machine without going through the manned counter procedures.
When you arrive at the airport, please go to this "self-service check-in machine" first.
Here you will complete boarding procedures (check-in).
The procedure differs depending on whether you are a JAL member or not.
For JMB members
JAL Card / JMB Card
2D barcode (e-ticket copy)
Confirmation number
Cell phone with JAL IC function
Non-members
2D barcode (e-ticket receipt)
Confirmation number
Then, complete the procedure by touching the screen with these barcodes.
You do not need to use your boarding pass except in special cases.
You only need your smart phone or IC card to board the plane.
If you have purchased at the reservation stage, completed seat selection, and "Touch & Go" is indicated in the "Boarding Method" field, you can use the JAL Touch & Go service.
JAL Touch & Go Service is a service that allows you to go directly to the security checkpoint without checking in at the airport.
This means you don't have to wait in line at the check-in counter, and you don't have to talk to anyone at the counter.
However, there is a condition: you need to make a reservation, purchase, and select your seat in advance.
A baggage tag is issued by the self check-in machine and attached to your baggage.
Place your IC card or other device over the self baggage drop (automatic baggage check-in machine) and place your baggage on the belt.
Check-in baggage by yourself.
Check your baggage for dangerous goods, etc., and receive a baggage receipt to complete the check-in process.
Note: Baggage should be checked in no later than 30 minutes before the flight departs.
You must pass through the security checkpoint at least 20 minutes before your flight departs.
If you miss the 20-minute deadline, you will not be allowed to board the plane.
In Japan, boarding procedures are automated, especially for domestic flights, so you can check in at your own pace.
