  4. Select your seat — free seats highlighted; emergency-row seats ₹400-₹600

  6. Download PDF boarding pass or save QR to phone

How to Web Check-in on Alliance Air (App)

  2. Login with booking email/phone
  3. Tap Web Check-in — your upcoming flight appears
  4. Select seats → tap Check-in

DigiYatra at Alliance Air Airports

DigiYatra is supported at all Alliance Air hub airports — Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Kolkata (CCU), Bengaluru (BLR), Hyderabad (HYD), Chennai (MAA). For smaller UDAN airports (Aizawl, Lilabari, Cooch Behar, Tezpur, Pakyong), DigiYatra is being progressively rolled out — most are still operating traditional ID + boarding-pass checks.

To use DigiYatra with Alliance Air: complete web check-in, then on the DigiYatra app tap 'Add Boarding Pass' and scan your Alliance Air PDF/QR. Use DigiYatra lanes at supported airports — no need to show physical ID or boarding pass at security/gate.

Alliance Air Counter Check-in Fees

If you skip web check-in and check in at the airport counter, Alliance Air charges ₹250 per passenger on routes where web check-in was available. Counter check-in is free if:

  • Special service request (wheelchair, unaccompanied minor, infant)
  • Web check-in failed for a system-side reason
  • The flight is from a remote UDAN airport where web check-in isn't yet enabled (rare — check via the app)

Web Check-in for Alliance Air UDAN Routes

UDAN routes (Aizawl, Lilabari, Pakyong, Cooch Behar, Bhuntar/Kullu, Pantnagar, etc.) support web check-in via allianceair.in and the app. Some very small airports (population <100K) may require additional terminal-side identity verification — your web check-in still saves time but you'll need to show ID at security as normal.

📝 Pro tip: Even with a Alliance Air web check-in boarding pass, you must reach the airport at least 90 minutes before departure. For remote UDAN airports (Lilabari, Pakyong, Bhuntar), arrive 120 minutes early — small terminals process passengers slower than mainline airports.
