Air India Express Web Check-in: Step-by-Step Guide

Go to airindiaexpress.com and open Manage Booking. Enter your PNR and last name, confirm passengers, pick a seat and download your boarding pass. The window opens 48 hours before departure.

Yes. Air India Express uses a separate check-in portal at airindiaexpress.com. Your IX PNR will only work on the Express site, not on the Air India mainline site. If you try to check in for an IX flight on airindia.com, you will get an error.

Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure. For domestic flights it closes 60 minutes before departure. For international flights it closes 2 hours before departure. If you miss the window, head to the airport counter at least 90 minutes before departure.

Not yet. Air India Express currently earns Tata Neu coins, not Maharaja Club miles. Maharaja Club integration for IX flights is expected later in 2026 but is not live yet. Once it launches, you will be able to earn and redeem Maharaja Club miles on Air India Express flights.

Try the Air India Express mobile app with the same PNR and last name. If email delivery fails, check your spam folder for the boarding pass PDF. SMS links expire quickly, so log back into the website to regenerate a fresh boarding pass if the original link is dead.

IX is the IATA airline code for Air India Express. AI is the code for Air India mainline. If your booking shows a flight number like IX 1234, you are on Air India Express and need to check in at airindiaexpress.com. AI flight numbers belong to the mainline carrier and use airindia.com.

Air India Express currently rewards passengers with Tata Neu coins through the Tata Neu app. Maharaja Club (Air India's frequent flyer program) integration for IX flights is expected later in 2026. Until then, retro-claiming Maharaja Club miles for Air India Express flights is not available.
