Air China online check in not working

Question

Is there someone familiar with Air China online check in? I'm desperately trying to check in but ther is constantly opening error page where it says "Sorry, there are no flights for which you can check in for"

I bought ticket on booking.com and they provide me all details that I need for check in.

I'm not sure if I can check in on airport without charge.

Answer

Air China’s online check-in system can sometimes be tricky, especially if you booked through a third-party website like Booking.com. The error message “Sorry, there are no flights for which you can check in” usually occurs due to timing, flight eligibility, or technical issues with the website.

Here’s what you should know and do:

Check the online check-in window: Air China typically allows online check-in starting 24 hours before the scheduled departure time for most international flights. If you try earlier than this window, the system will not show your flight.
Confirm flight eligibility: Some connecting flights, codeshare flights, or tickets booked through third-party platforms may not be eligible for online check-in. Ensure your flight is operated directly by Air China.
Browser or device issues: Try using a different browser, clear cookies, or use the Air China mobile app to attempt check-in. Sometimes security settings or cached data can cause errors.

If online check-in still does not work:

You can check in at the airport counter without extra charge. Air China allows passengers to check in at least 2-3 hours before international flights.
Bring your booking confirmation from Booking.com, passport, and any necessary visas to ensure a smooth process at the counter.
If you prefer assistance, call Air China customer service or visit their airport counter upon arrival to clarify your booking and check-in eligibility.

In summary, the issue is likely related to timing, third-party booking, or website technicalities. Airport check-in is always available without extra charge, so you won’t miss your flight as long as you arrive on time.
