Everything about your Etihad Airways (EY) boarding pass: how to get it, re-download a lost one, mobile vs printed, and airport timings.
Verified June 2026Re-access your boarding pass via Manage → Check-in on etihad.com (trip reference + last name) or in the Etihad app to download it again.
A mobile boarding pass via the Etihad app is supported. Etihad does not publish a specific print mandate for India departures — carry your passport for the counter document check where required.
A mobile (digital) boarding pass is accepted at Indian airports by the airlines that issue one — there is no official rule requiring a printout, and Delhi Airport markets fully paperless domestic travel. That said, carry a valid government photo ID at all times (it is checked at terminal entry alongside your boarding pass or ticket), and for international departures most airlines still verify your travel documents at the counter before issuing the final pass.
Etihad does not charge for airport check-in (a standard free option for this full-service carrier).
Etihad does not publish a fixed online-check-in close time or gate-closure minute on its general pages — check your itinerary and the airport screens, and do not assume a specific cut-off. Arrive in good time for the counter document check on international departures.
On India departures your travel documents are verified at the airport; the exact counter cut-off is not published on Etihad's general pages, so allow time. Abu Dhabi Home Check-in is the exception (bags and check-in handled before you leave home).

DigiYatra works with any airline at 38 Indian airports, including for Etihad Airways flights — it reads your face instead of checking documents at three checkpoints. DigiYatra is the free, optional facial-recognition system at 38 Indian airports (including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Navi Mumbai). You enrol once with Aadhaar, but you must upload your boarding pass for every flight and share it with the departure airport (the e-gate scans the boarding-pass QR first, then your face). It is domestic-only — international departures are still on the roadmap — and passengers travelling with infants cannot use it. Even DigiYatra users should carry a physical government photo ID.
