For domestic flights, we recommend checking in 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time. For international flights, we recommend checking in 120 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Check-in
For domestic flights, passengers are advised to arrive at Osijek Airport at least 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time, and for international flights at least 120 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Passengers who have not checked in in advance should report to the check-in counter with a valid travel document. Passengers are responsible for holding valid travel documents and arriving on time for check-in, security screening and boarding.
Passengers who have already checked in online and have a boarding pass, but are travelling with checked baggage, should report to the counter to drop off their baggage.
The availability of online check-in depends on the airline’s rules. After completing check-in successfully, passengers receive a boarding pass, which can be printed or saved on a mobile device and used at security screening and boarding control. Select the appropriate online check-in link below:

Some airlines charge an additional fee for airport check-in if the service was not included in the booking in advance. Check-in and baggage drop-off are possible only until the deadline set by the airline.
Self-service Check-in
Once the service becomes available, passengers of certain airlines will also be able to check in using a self-service kiosk in the passenger terminal.
Passports and Visas
Passengers are required to obtain information in advance about the regulations of the country to which they are travelling and/or through which they are travelling to their final destination. They must also ensure that they hold valid travel documents and any other required documentation, such as a passport, visa or relevant permits.
Please note that inadequate or invalid travel documents constitute a valid reason for refusing boarding. In such cases, passengers are not entitled to compensation or any other rights provided for under the relevant provisions of the European Parliament.
Croatian citizens entering or transiting through the United Kingdom must hold a passport that is valid throughout their stay in the United Kingdom and at the time of departure.
From 25 February 2026, all citizens of EU Member States, including Croatian citizens, are required to obtain electronic authorisation through the UK ETA system.
Croatian citizens intending to travel to the United Kingdom or transit through a UK airport may apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Applications are submitted through the ETA application.
A decision on an ETA application may take up to three days.
Croatian citizens who hold pre-settled or settled status in the United Kingdom, or who have the right of abode, are exempt from this requirement.
