To download your Akasa Air boarding pass, go to akasaair.com or the Akasa app, tap “Check-In,” enter your PNR and last name, complete check-in, then download the PDF. Check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before a domestic flight. It is free, and a digital/mobile boarding pass is accepted at security and the gate for domestic Indian flights.
Updated June 2026 · HappyFares
Akasa Air is one of India’s newer airlines, and its online check-in is clean and quick. You generate your own boarding pass, keep it on your phone, and skip the counter queue. No charge to do it.
Here’s the full process on both the website and the app, exactly what to enter, and what to try if check-in won’t complete. The one timing detail to remember: Akasa’s domestic check-in closes 45 minutes before departure.
How do I download my Akasa Air boarding pass online?
Use the check-in page on akasaair.com. Check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before a domestic flight, so don’t leave it to the last minute at the gate. You complete check-in once, then download the boarding pass as a PDF to your phone.
Step 1: Open the Akasa Air check-in page
Go to akasaair.com and click “Check-In.” It sits on the home screen and in the manage-booking section. Both routes open the same check-in flow, so use whichever you spot first.
Step 2: Enter your PNR and last name
Type your PNR and the last name on the ticket. The PNR is the short code on your confirmation email and SMS from Akasa. The name must match the booking exactly, or the page can’t find your trip.
Step 3: Confirm your seat and check in
Keep or choose your seat, add anyone on the same PNR, and confirm. Standard seats during check-in are free. Akasa only charges for preferred seats or extra baggage, so you can decline every paid add-on and still get your pass.
Step 4: Download the PDF
Once check-in confirms, tap “Download Boarding Pass.” Save the PDF to your phone, or add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so it opens fast at the gate. You can also print it at home if you like a paper copy.
Can I get my Akasa Air boarding pass on the app?
Yes. The Akasa Air app uses the same 48-hour window and produces the same boarding pass. The app keeps your trip saved and nudges you when check-in opens, which helps you beat that 45-minute domestic cut-off. After check-in, the pass lives in the app and opens offline.
App steps in short
Open the Akasa app, find your trip or tap “Check-In,” confirm your seat, and check in. The boarding pass appears in the app. Save it as a PDF or add it to your phone wallet as a backup.
In our experience the app is the easier route on Akasa, partly because that 45-minute close is tighter than some rivals. An app reminder the evening before keeps you ahead of it. For a deeper walkthrough, see our Akasa Air web check-in guide.
What do I enter to find my booking?
Akasa check-in needs two things: your PNR and the last name on the ticket. No login or password is required for standard web check-in. The PNR is a short code printed on your e-ticket, the confirmation email, and the SMS Akasa sent after you booked.
Where to find your PNR
Look at the top of your confirmation message. If you booked on HappyFares, the PNR is on the itinerary and confirmation email we sent. Have it ready before you start so the page finds your trip on the first attempt.
If the name doesn’t match
Enter the surname exactly as printed on the ticket. A small spelling difference is the most common reason check-in can’t locate a booking. If your real name and the ticket name differ, fix it through Akasa Air manage booking before you try to check in.
Do I need to print my Akasa Air boarding pass?
No. A digital boarding pass is accepted at security and the gate for domestic Indian flights. Show the PDF, the pass inside the Akasa app, or the wallet version on your phone. A printout is optional, so the only thing to manage is keeping your phone charged through the airport.
Carry a valid government photo ID with the pass, because security matches the name to your ID. Save a screenshot or the PDF offline as backup in case the terminal network drops. For the list of accepted IDs, see our guide to documents for domestic flights in India.
If you fly an international Akasa route, a few destinations still prefer a paper pass for their own processes, so check the arrival country’s rules. For domestic travel, your phone is enough.
Is Akasa Air check-in free?
Yes. Both web check-in and airport counter check-in are free on Akasa Air. No Indian airline charges to check in or to issue a boarding pass. Only optional seat selection and excess baggage cost extra, and those are your choice. So whether you self-check online or use the counter, the pass itself is free.
Rumours about “check-in charges” mislead a lot of flyers. We unpack the truth in our explainer on whether web check-in is free in India. The boarding pass is never a paid item on Akasa.
If you’d rather use the airport counter
You can skip online check-in and collect your boarding pass free at the Akasa counter or a kiosk. Reach the airport earlier than usual, since counter and bag-drop lines build near departure. Carry your ID and PNR.
What if Akasa Air web check-in fails?
Check-in can stall for ordinary reasons: the 48-hour window hasn’t opened, the 45-minute close has passed, a name mismatch, or an infant on the booking. Most fixes are quick. If online check-in blocks you, the airport counter is the free fallback and issues the same boarding pass.
If you didn’t get the boarding pass email
Check spam and promotions folders, then re-open check-in on akasaair.com or the app. Once you’re checked in, the download button regenerates the PDF on demand, so a missing email doesn’t matter. Re-download as many times as you need.
If web check-in throws an error
Confirm you’re inside the 48-hour window, that the 45-minute domestic cut-off hasn’t passed, and that your name matches the ticket. Try the app if the site fails, or a different browser. Bookings with infants or special assistance sometimes finish at the counter. Our web check-in failure quick-fix guide covers each cause.
Common Questions
When does Akasa Air check-in open and close?
Check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before a domestic flight. That close is tighter than some airlines, so don’t arrive hoping to web check-in at the gate. See our overview of when web check-in opens across Indian airlines.
Can I download boarding passes for my whole group at once?
Yes. If everyone shares one PNR, you check them in together and the system creates a boarding pass for each traveller. Download them all as PDFs or save them to your phone wallet. Each passenger still needs their own valid photo ID at the airport.
Is a mobile boarding pass accepted on Akasa Air domestic flights?
Yes. For domestic flights, the PDF, the app pass, or a wallet pass is accepted at security and boarding. No printout is required. Carry a government photo ID and keep an offline backup of the pass in case your phone loses signal inside the terminal.
What’s the difference between Akasa fare types for check-in?
Check-in is free on every fare; only seats and baggage differ by bundle. Knowing your fare helps you predict your allowances. Our Akasa Air fare types and add-ons guide breaks down what each fare includes.
Is Akasa Air a good airline for first-time flyers?
Many travellers rate its app and on-ground experience highly for a young carrier. If you’re deciding, our Akasa Air review covers seats, service, and value so you know what to expect before you book.
