Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure on the website and 24 hours before in the app, and closes 60 minutes before the flight. Airport desks also close 60 minutes before. After online check-in, go to the desk for a document check and bag drop.
Change and refund terms depend on the fare rules: changes are possible only if the fare allows them. If you bought the ticket from an agent, the agent handles the refund. After a family member's death, tickets can be changed or refunded without penalty.
Meals are free on all AZAL international flights, and the menu depends on the class, season, route and time of day. Special meals must be ordered in advance through Manage booking. Dishes from the paid Air Tastes menu can be ordered at least 48 hours before departure.
AZAL Miles is the AZAL loyalty programme. Miles are earned on flights and spent on award tickets and upgrades, and Cash+Miles lets you pay part of a fare with miles. Status points unlock five tiers, including Platinum and Platinum Elite.
The AZAL app for iOS and Android lets you buy tickets, manage your booking, add baggage, choose a seat and a meal, check in online and, on iPhone, add your boarding pass to Apple Wallet.
