Dhaka: The national flag carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines will resume online check-in for domestic passengers from June 1.

This will be the first time passengers can select their preferred seats while checking in online.

After completing the online check-in on Biman’s website, passengers will have to collect the hard copy of the boarding pass by showing the digital pass at the web check-in counter at airport.
