To Russian Far East: check-in open 24 hours before departure
In cooperation with S7 Airlines, NOVOSIBIRSK International Airport introduced the new service of passenger and baggage check-in procedure which is now open 24 hours before scheduled departure time for certain flights.
Starting from 28th June, this option allows to improve passenger service level for those who depart from Novosibirsk to Khabarovsk and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with S7 Airlines. From 9th July, this service also becomes available for Vladivostok flights, from 22nd July – for Yakutsk. In prospect, the list of flights with pre-departure check-in is expected to be extended.
Passengers of these flights will be able to proceed for check-in at the appointed desk in Domestic Passenger Terminal (Terminal A) at any convenient time.

The passengers who checked in ahead of the time scheduled get the opportunity to make a trip to the city center or experience the whole range of services offered at the airport (shops, public catering, etc.) before their flight departure.
