While web check-in is fantastic, it's important to know its limitations and requirements. It is typically mandatory for most domestic flights in many countries. For international flights, you can usually web check-in, but you will always have to present your passport and visa documents at a dedicated counter at the airport for verification before you can proceed to security. This is a non-negotiable security step. Furthermore, if you are traveling with special needs (e.g., an unaccompanied minor, a passenger requiring wheelchair assistance, or with oversized luggage like sports equipment), you will likely still need to see an agent at the traditional check-in counter. Always check your airline's specific rules, but for the vast majority of standard trips, web check-in is the fastest, smartest, and most convenient way to start your journey.
