Can’t wait for the old, cheap holiday to Spain brigade to freak out and cry to the papers posing for pictures frowning while pointing at their phones

I prefer a paper boarding pass tbf. It can be folded up and put inside my passport.

I only have one on my phone in case the paper one gets lost.

I have the paper one in case the phone goes flat.

What about the people who don’t have a smartphone? Yes, there are people like that!

Good - they’ve just made me print out a boarding pass for my flight back from Tirana. Pain in the arse finding a printer out here

Not all airports are able to accommodate the app with other airlines? Wonder how Ryanair gets around this?

According to the article all Ryanair passengers already have the app. I’m not sure if having the app is already a requirement (I’ve never flown Ryanair).

Emm, no, they don’t. I know one who’s flying with them in a couple of weeks and doesn’t have it. I’m sure there are lots more.

“It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport - the airport check in fee will be gone.

Check in fee? :confused:

Who pays for a boarding pass?

The people who can’t read basic instructions and turn up at the airport without being checked in (ergo no boarding pass).

I thought that might be the case. This is what O’Leary thinks (or wants you to think he thinks):

Everybody who travels with us has the app, the mobile boarding pass is on the app and we’ve got to move more and more people that way.

Surely all the app is doing is showing a barcode - the same as what would be printed out?

It’s a QR code on the app, not a barcode. Presumably not all places can cope with the QR code.

EasyJet flyers: row 1 or emergency exit row?

I’m flying with EasyJet later today, Row 16 :joy:

The one that’s the cheapest.

I’ve been fairly lucky with flights to get mostly aisle seats (preferred as I get anxious and pee a lot :joy:) or a window seat. Never the middle.

Random assignment because that’s free. If there are two or more travelling, they give you seats together (Ryanair makes a point of not doing this).

Emergency exit. Children aren’t allowed to sit in them.

That’s a good point… shouldn’t have booked row 1. Wonder if I can still change it.

Row 1 is also an emergency exit so no kids!
