IndiGo Boarding Pass Download 2026: Web & 6E App Step Guide

IndiGo is India’s biggest airline, so its web check-in is fast and well used. You generate your own boarding pass, save it to your phone, and walk past the counter line. There’s no fee to do it.

This guide covers the website and the 6E app, exactly what to type to pull up your trip, and the fixes for when check-in won’t go through. Everything here works for domestic IndiGo flights.

How do I download my IndiGo boarding pass online?

Use the web check-in page on goindigo.in. Check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes shortly before take-off, so the night before your flight is the easiest time. You complete check-in once, then download the boarding pass as a PDF or print it.

Step 1: Open the IndiGo web check-in page

Go to goindigo.in and click “Web Check-in.” It sits on the home screen and in the “Edit / Check-in” area. Both links lead to the same check-in flow, so use whichever you see first.

Step 2: Enter your PNR and email or last name

Type your PNR or booking reference, then your email or the last name on the ticket. The PNR is the short code on your confirmation email and SMS. Match the details to the booking exactly, or the page won’t find your trip.

Step 3: Confirm your seat and check in

Keep or pick your seat, add anyone on the same PNR, and confirm. Standard seats during check-in are free. IndiGo only charges for selected seats or extra baggage, so you can decline every paid add-on and still get your pass.

Step 4: Download or print the PDF

Once check-in confirms, tap “Download Boarding Pass” or print it. Save the PDF to your phone, or add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so it opens instantly at the gate. A home printout is optional if you prefer paper.

Can I get my IndiGo boarding pass on the 6E app?

Yes. The IndiGo 6E app uses the same 48-hour window and produces the same boarding pass. The app stores your trip and reminds you when check-in opens, which is handy given how busy IndiGo airports get. After check-in, the pass lives in the app and opens offline.

App steps in short

Open the 6E app, find your trip or tap “Web 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 copy.

We’ve found the 6E app the smoothest route for frequent IndiGo flyers, since it keeps your details saved between trips. For the full screen-by-screen version, see our IndiGo web check-in guide.

What do I enter to find my booking?

IndiGo check-in needs your PNR or booking reference, plus your email or the last name on the ticket. No login is required for standard web check-in. The PNR is the short code printed on your e-ticket, the confirmation email, and the SMS IndiGo 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. You can also look it up with our IndiGo PNR status guide before you begin check-in.

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 IndiGo manage booking before you try to check in.

Do I need to print my IndiGo 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 6E app, or the wallet version on your phone. A printout is optional, so the only thing to plan for 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.

On international IndiGo routes, a few destinations still prefer a paper pass for their own checks, so confirm the arrival country’s rules. Within India, your phone is all you need.

Is IndiGo web check-in free?

Yes. Both web check-in and airport counter check-in are free on IndiGo. 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.

A lot of flyers worry about hidden “check-in charges” they’ve read about. We clear that up in our explainer on whether web check-in is free in India. The boarding pass is never a paid item on IndiGo.

If you’d rather use the airport counter

You can skip online check-in and collect your boarding pass free at the IndiGo counter or a self-service kiosk. Reach the airport earlier than usual, because counter and bag-drop lines build near departure, especially at large metro airports. Carry your ID and PNR.

What if IndiGo web check-in fails?

Check-in can stall for ordinary reasons: the 48-hour window hasn’t opened, a name or email mismatch, an infant on the booking, or a payment still settling. 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 web check-in on goindigo.in or the 6E 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 copies as you need.

If web check-in throws an error

Confirm you’re inside the 48-hour window and that your PNR, email, and name match the booking. Try the 6E app if the site fails, or a different browser. Bookings with infants or special assistance sometimes finish at the counter. Our IndiGo web check-in errors guide walks through each cause.

Common Questions

When does IndiGo web check-in open?

Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure. For domestic flights it closes shortly before take-off, so the day before travel is the safest time. See our overview of when web check-in opens across Indian airlines for the timing details.

Can I download boarding passes for everyone on my booking?

Yes. If your travellers share one PNR, you check them in together and the system creates a boarding pass for each person. Download them all as PDFs or save them to your phone wallet. Every passenger still needs their own valid photo ID at the airport.

Is a mobile boarding pass accepted on IndiGo domestic flights?

Yes. For domestic flights, the PDF, the 6E 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.

Can I pick a free seat during IndiGo check-in?

Yes, standard seats are free at check-in; only preferred and extra-legroom seats are paid. If you want a specific window or front-row spot, our best IndiGo seats guide shows which seats are worth choosing.

Where can I check my IndiGo baggage allowance before flying?

Cabin and check-in limits depend on your fare, so confirm yours before the airport. Our IndiGo baggage policy guide breaks down the allowances, and prepaying excess online is cheaper than paying at the counter.
