2. Check-in machines at Berlin-Schönefeld, Cologne/Bonn, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart airports:
If your flight departs from these airports, it’s easy to check in using the machines provided.
Even if you use the self check-in, your hand luggage cannot exceed 8kg in weight or 55 x 40 x 20cm in size. If you also want to take larger and heavier items of luggage with you, simply use our baggage drop-off desk. The queues here are short as all you’re doing is dropping off your bags. In Hamburg please use our check-in desk to check in your luggage.
3. Online check-in:
On the website in the "My Germanwings" section you will find the "Web Check-In" area. Select the legs and the passenger you want to check-in (maximum one leg and one passenger per sequence). To check in more passengers and/or more legs please repeat the procedure.
