ticketless airline

worried_jim

I am flying with Onurair Gatwick to Bodrum on September 18th. I know that this is a ticketless airline, but all I have is a six digit ref number on the email from the travel agent stating to check in at least 2 hours before flight time.
Do I just turn up with a print of this and present this at the check in desk? Is this the norm now days and has anyone used this airline in this manner?

Hiya

Yes, we did the same from Leeds Bradford 2 years ago.

Just remember your reference and passports

I havent had a paper ticket for ...maybe 8 years? Its fine, you are already on the system, just show them your passports, and have the reference ready incase they even ask for it.

It must be about 8 years for me too. The idea of having a paper ticket seems so quaint now.

With most airlines, as long as your name in passport matches their list then they are happy but it's always worth printing off the confirmation email with the reference number. Some airlines also ask you for the credit card which was used to book the flight as a further security check.

I will take the confirmation email with me- it just seems too simple and life is generally not like that in my experience.

I'm not planning on taking our credit card, what happens if you haven't got the card, we are flying Sep 28th, surely they must warn us beforehand of this?

I think you will find it very straight forward. We have flown with Onur many times and had no hassle.

They seem to have slightly more leg room than most of the charter flight operators that fly into Turkey and you don't get all the hassle of attendants pushing trollies up and down the aisle every five minutes.

Also, because the flights start in Turkey in the morning and flying back in the afternoon, their flight times are much more civilised - no 2.30 am landings on the flights back that just about get you back into work on time!

Yes, I would expect that they should warn you but I have no idea what Onurai's policy is (in fact, I haven't even heard of them) but I was just pointing out that some airlines sometimes do check.

We are going with Ryanair:)

Is there reason you arent taking your credit card with you? Its a good idea to have one on holiday incase of emergencies. You dont want to be one of those people you see whinging on the news when they got stuck somewhere on holiday and didnt have a penny to buy food/accomodation with because they only took cash!

And they do very occasionally ask you to show it, so its best to bring it anyway.
