According to the plan, passengers will be able to check-in via www.vietnamairlines.com or the Vietnam Airlines app within 24 hours to one hour ahead of departure.

They will receive an online boarding pass via an electronic device or be able to print the card themselves before going through the online check-in counter at Mumbai airport with their boarding pass and identity documents being verified quickly.
