Checking in at Dubrovnik Airport
Dubrovnik Airport has a single terminal that is split over 3 levels which are connected via lifts and escalators. The Ground Floor is where you’ll find the airline check-in counters and the self-check-in kiosks. If you have a checked luggage, you’ll have to go to your airline’s counter to drop it off. If you aren’t checking luggage and have already checked in online, you can head straight to the First Floor.
All airlines recommend checking in online. Not only does it save time and allow you to pick the seat of your choice, but it also avoids having to pay for your boarding pass to be issued at the airport. Online check-in is generally open from 30 to 24 hours before departure.
