Information from KLM Japan

To passengers departing from Osaka-Kansai airport

Currently, Osaka-Kansai airport is extremely crowded due to the rapid increase in the number of international flights and passengers departing to abroad. In particular, security checkpoint is crowded, and it may take more than 60 minutes to pass through. It is recommended that you arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to your departure. We also recommend that passengers who have already checked in proceed to the security checkpoint as soon as possible. Roads and parking lots around the airport are very crowded during the year-end and New Year's holidays. We recommend that you use public transportation. We appreciate your cooperation.

New service at Internet check-in: Scan your passport with your smartphone to save time on departure.

To save time at the airport, KLM and AIR FRANCE launched an option for departing passengers to scan their passport, ID card, etc. to reflect their check-in information when they check in online.

Instead of manually entering passport information as in the past, departing passengers can easily scan it with their smartphone and automatically add their travel document details to the given fields of their check-in information, just as they would be read at an airport check-in machine.

By scanning your passport information in advance, you can enjoy a smooth travel experience by eliminating the need for passport checks at the boarding gate even if you are at the boarding gate directly after online check-in.
