Hi Koen, yes, we can check in online via the airline app. If you already have a mobile boarding pass, you don't need to go to the counter. Our flight to Paris departs from Terminal 1, so follow the signs 'Departures' to Terminal 1. At the security check you show your passport or ID card and your boarding pass. Also place your laptop and liquids separately in a tray. See you soon! Sam
