6.6 Web Check–in and Home Printed Boarding Passes
6.6.1 After completing the online check-in process, Passengers will be supplied with a computer generated image of a boarding pass containing the information for the intended flight. This image can be printed at home before the Passenger leaves for the airport. The entire boarding pass document must be printed on A4 paper and have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
If these conditions are not met the Passenger will be required to collect a boarding pass at the check-in counters or at the self-service kiosk. If the Passenger has no check-in luggage you may proceed directly to security without reporting to the check-in counter.
6.6.2 Certain airports have a baggage drop counter where the Passenger can hand in the bag no later than sixty (60) minutes prior to departure. Failure to do so will cause the Baggage not to be loaded onboard the aircraft. Baggage must conform with the Airline’s baggage policy and for safety reasons certain dangerous articles must not be carried in Passenger’s Baggage. Please refer to Clause 8.4 (Items Not Allowed In Passenger's Baggage).
6.6.3 If no baggage drop counter exists, the Baggage must be checked-in at the check-in counter.

Any Passenger without the appropriate identification will be denied boarding and their Baggage offloaded from the aircraft if applicable.
6.6.7 Any Passenger failing to present their boarding pass at the boarding gate will be required to have the boarding pass reissued at the Airlink check-in counter. On return to security the Passenger will be obliged to resubmit themselves for the security screening.
