Everyone must check in
All travellers must check in, electronically or at a counter, in order to receive a boarding pass - even those who are travelling only with hand baggage. An ID document inspection is mandatory within the EU, so be prepared to show acceptable proof of your identity.
NOTE: Do not store photographic film in your check-in baggage, since it may be affected by the X-ray equipment that is used during baggage sorting. Put film in your hand baggage instead.
