Schedule & Flight/News Status — VLM Airlines
Use a live tracker or news search to confirm if a given flight operates and where to check in. If your ticket shows a different operating carrier, follow that carrier’s rules.
How to check in (general guidance)
- Verify the operating carrier on your ticket. If another airline operates the flight, follow their check‑in rules and baggage limits.
- If airport check‑in is required, arrive at least 2 hours (domestic/short‑haul) or 3 hours (international) before departure unless your confirmation states otherwise.
- Bring a valid government ID and your booking confirmation. Confirm visa/entry needs for international routes.
- Weigh baggage, pay any excess, collect your boarding pass and proceed to security/boarding. Watch airport screens and announcements.
The VLM Airlines brand has seen changes over time. Procedures can differ by operating partner, airport and aircraft type. Always rely on the instructions in your booking confirmation.
Good to know
- Save Check in online if offered by the operating carrier; otherwise plan extra time at the airport.
- Name mismatches cause delays — ensure your ticket matches your ID exactly.
- If your flight number shows “operated by …”, baggage and seating rules follow that airline.
Baggage — essentials (when VLM is shown on your ticket)
Follow the operating carrier’s cabin rules. If not specified, assume 1 small cabin bag + 1 personal item on short‑haul jets/turboprops.
Varies by fare/route and operator. Typical short‑haul economy: 0–1 checked bag (15–23 kg) — verify on your confirmation.
If your flight is operated by another airline, their allowance and fees apply.
Carry-on & personal item
- Cabin size and weight limits depend on aircraft/operator. Soft, compact bags speed boarding on turboprops/regional jets.
- Liquids: 100 ml per container; all must fit in a 1‑liter transparent bag (security rule in many countries).
Checked baggage
- Allowance and fees vary by fare brand and operating carrier. Check your e‑ticket or booking details.
- Oversize/overweight items may need pre‑approval; airports can have limited handling for special items.
Always verify with the operating carrier listed on your booking and with the departure airport before you fly.
