Thanks for posting that. Im due to fly out from London then and I just usually print out the day before. Hopefully the will have the decency to notify customers booked on the days. Let the moaning begin LOL.

Agh how annoying. I'm flying on the 21st and was going to wait until weekend before to check in. Oh well will have do it earlier and hope i dont loose them.

Thanks for the heads up. I normally just check in the day before so that would have been me stumped!

Just out of interest why don't people normally print them early. You can go back and print them again if you loose them. Why wait until the last minute?

I wonder what the new web-site will be like - maybe pay to view!

Just shows what a cheap operation they run. Any decent company where their website is such an important part of their business would always have plans in place to switch to a parallel system during an upgrade. You can't imagine Amazon taking their website down for 24 hours in order to perform an upgrade.

You can't make changes after you've done it. I often add a bag a short time before the flight.
