You've safely checked in online but you can't head over to the Immigration Counter yet - not until you drop off your luggages at the baggage counter. The problem is, you have to wait in line to do so and it can be quite taxing as it would typically take at least 10-20 minutes of your time (yikes!) ?

- Attach the bag tag on your luggages and head over to the self-baggage drop counter.
- Place your luggages on the belt.
- Scan your boarding pass and bag tag with the scanner.
