I need information on how to get my boarding pass since I booked the flight online. I did not see an automated checkin when I was at the airport. I am guessing just go to the airline window and that should be it.
I think you are correct. There should be an airline booth for the airline you are flying before you go through security. Ask there or you can enter the first check point and go to the desk for that airline but there will be a longer line there so I would ask in front first. Pay close attention because there are several lines you must go through. First the intial check point that separates passengers from visitors, then with your airline to check luggage, then security, then customs, and finally passport control which is the longest (could take an hour or more). Good luck.
If you need to pick up a ticket at the airport, the airline who sold you the ticket should have told you that you can pick it up at their counter.
If you are flying into Borispol and then out again internally (e.g. on Aerosvit) then it should be ready for you there.
If you fly internally don't do what I did first time I was there. Hang around terminal B for ages waiting for flight announcements and then 15 minutes before boarding ask the girl at the gate where the hell my plane is and make the frantic dash to Terminal A to catch it.
In other words Terminal A is next door. There are more gates there. Outside turn right and walk for a few minutes.
Well it depends which airline you've booked with and if one can check-in online, and print out a boarding pass, a day (ish) before departure.
Whichever airline it is revisit their website to establish if one can check-in online or, if not, what one does to check-in.
The idea of an e-ticket is that one simply presents their passport etc. at the check-in desk but at KBP they won't let one thru to check-in without flight documentation, perhaps a print out of the booking confirmation email will get one thru to check-in!
That's at KBP international, last time I was at KBP domestic there was no-one to prevent one walking straight up to the check-in desk.
Martin...in terminal B, I just walked up to aerosvit window to get my ticket for domestic flight, since I was there from arriving flight. All I did was hand them my passport, girl didn't need my printed copy of booking. What I didn't like was she told me I would have to go to aerosvit window in Odessa airport at 6 am to get my paper ticket, to come back to kiev, which ended up some lady coming in around 6;30, to get me my ticket , then walk down to get my boarding pass...30 minutes from when my plane was leaving. Guess there are times when it is best to have got paper tickets.
Kirk...something happened to me that was similar to you. I was in terminal B, waiting by screen that shows which flights you can check in. I think it is 60-90 minutes ahead of flight time. I was standing waiting for my flight to odessa to come up....I waited and waited....and waited before I saw flights come up later than mine.....I thought, what is going on here............before the light when on in my head....WRONG TERMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What they don't let you know in the domestic terminal is if your flight is delayed. I waited and waited there one evening and every other flight appeared for check-in except my flight for Zaporozhye.
Eventually tempers became frayed and before I managed to make it to the 'Motor Sich' desk a Ukrainian lady (who lives in NYC) stepped in front of me saying, politely, 'leave this to me' and with that she let rip at them :)
Thereafter it became an evening of entertainment eventually landing in ZP during a heavy snow storm.
Last week, well the week before, I needed to drop a hire car off at Rome FCO airport, the office should have opened at 0800, I was there waiting at 0800 and I needed to check-in for my flight by 0835 with the check-in area some 15 minutes walk away. Well they eventually opened the office at 0820, with no other facility available to drop the keys and paperwork, just as I was being left with no other alternative than to fly home with the keys in my pocket whilst they had my EUR750 deposit that, no doubt, they would have helped themselves to.
THe company I hired via, as a routine, asked me for my feedback so I have told them!
Print your E-Ticket and have that with you.
Give at checkin - most times they dont check anything where you leave good-bye zone
All checking is done at bag weigh in and boarding pass gates
My wife did have a problem with E-Ticket a couple of years ago. Moscow was worse than KBP, she got the run around big-time. But they seem to have come up to speed on E-Tickets now.
