Alternatively, UIA offers the Auto Check-in service.

In this case, passengers are checked-in and e-mailed their boarding passes automatically.
Currently, Auto Check-in is available for Economy Class passengers of UIA PS services except for:

Passengers traveling with infants/children may proceed straight to aviation security with further clearance by an immigration control officer.
