Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves—checking in online too early, selecting the wrong seat, or realizing plans have changed after the boarding pass is already issued. If you’re flying Etihad Airways, you may be wondering: Can I cancel my check-in?
The good news is: Yes, you can cancel check-in with Etihad. It’s a straightforward process, whether done online, through the app, or at the airport. And if the digital steps feel overwhelming, you can always call (831-298-4213) for step-by-step help.
Yes, Etihad allows passengers to cancel check-in in certain cases. This doesn’t cancel your actual ticket—it just resets your check-in status, so you can re-check in later with the right details.
Online and mobile check-in can be canceled if you made a mistake or need to change something.
Airport check-in can also be undone at the counter if you need assistance.
Canceling check-in may be required before changing flights or reselecting seats.
Example: George from Florida checked in online but realized he had booked the wrong seat and needed wheelchair assistance. He canceled check-in, updated his booking, and re-checked in without any issue.
Common reasons seniors may cancel check-in include:
Changing to a different flight.
Fixing a mistake in seat selection.
Adding or updating special assistance requests (like wheelchair service).
Preferring to check in at the airport with an agent.
