There are service counters at the airport where passengers can check in and have their boarding tickets printed out and have their check-in luggage processed. It is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior for international flights and 1 hour prior for domestic flights since there may be long lines at the service counter.

The web check-in for China Southern Airlines lets you check-in up to 24 hours before your flight departs, whereas text message check-in is available by 2:00 pm prior to the departure.
