How do I check in at Corfu Airport?

Departing from Corfu Airport - Whether you are travelling with cabin bag only or hold luggage, please check in online. - You can check in online and print your boarding pass from 30 days and up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure of your flight.



Checking in at Corfu International Airport (CFU) in 2026 is a two-stage process that starts on the Ground Floor. Upon entering the terminal, you will find the check-in counters where you drop off your luggage and receive a physical boarding pass if you haven't checked in online. Given that CFU is a relatively small airport that gets extremely congested during the summer peak (July–August), it is strongly recommended to check in online via your airline's app 24 hours in advance. This allows you to use the "Baggage Drop" counters, which are usually faster. Once checked in, you must head to the First Floor to clear security and enter the departures lounge. Because the airport has a small footprint, queues can snake out of the building during busy periods, so arriving at least 3 hours before an international flight is essential. Pro-tip: After security, the space is limited, so try to find a seat near your gate early. Also, look out for the right-hand window seats on your flight out for a spectacular view of "Mouse Island" (Pontikonisi) during takeoff.
