When you receive the Tunisair boarding pass you can access the area of the airport where you board the plane, keep in mind that once you have access to this part of the airport you will not be able to return outside so it is recommended that if you need to wait for someone you stay where you are.

This area of the airport is a no man’s land, that is to say that to access it you must present your boarding pass and carry out the migration procedures, that is to say that once that you have gone through this section, you are not in any country.

It should be clarified that in the Departures Hall there are restaurants, restrooms, free shops, cafeterias, areas for recharging electronic devices and much more, so don’t worry about missing a thing.

How long before the departure time do you have to arrive at the airport?

You must be at the boarding gate 45 to 30 minutes before the plane’s departure time. Before arriving at the boarding gate, you will need to go through the check-in counter (unless you have checked in online and have no baggage to hold), then through security checks. It is therefore necessary to anticipate the waiting time at the check-in counter and the time to travel the way to the boarding gate.

Some airports take a long time to check in. It is recommended that you arrive at the airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure. The same is true when you fly to Tunisia from another country. Then you will be subjected to a detailed baggage and personal check already at the airport, which can take a long time.

This is why it is so important to find out before departure what rules apply to a particular carrier and a specific airport, how to get there and how long it will take you.

As a general rule, it is recommended to come to the airport 1h30 with the departure of the plane for a domestic flight and at least 2h00 to 3h00 before the departure for an international long-haul flight. You should know that more than 400 passengers must be checked in when it comes to a flight on board a jumbo aircraft. Please also note that most cheap airline tickets are non-refundable if the passenger is late at the airport.

For charter flights, the place and time of the meeting at the check-in counter will be communicated to you in your travel log.

Who should you show your boarding pass to?

If it was not possible to check in online before, you will receive a printed boarding pass for free, which harvest to board the plane. Your documents will be returned to you and you can then move on. If you checked in online, you present the generated boarding pass along with the documents, and all activities at the check-in counter at the airport are limited to control cards, documents and baggage check-in.
