    Easyjet let you check-in and print your passes up to three MONTHS before you go.

    Ryanair say with online checkin that you have to be at the gate 45 minutes before your flight. If you only went through security 30 minutes before would you be denied boarding? I know they never board 45 minutes before but with online checkin they scan your boarding pass at security so would they know if you only went though security 30 minutes before?

    We had same problem in Feb, can check in eaisly before going ie. 2 days before, but as going for more than 3 days, could not print off boarding cards for the way back. My sister checked in 2 days before for us and emailed the hotel who printed it off for us. Apparently she does this all the time for her boss, as he travels a lot. She either faxes or emails the hotel withe the boarding passes. I understand that if you do not check in online and have boarding passes, you have to pay a fee per person of about £14 to check in.

    Lord I didnt know you had to print a boarding pass. I,ve opted to check in online and they just asked me to give passport info in advance. Do they prompt you to print a boarding pass, or do I just go on and look for instuctions I,ve obviously missed? I,m flying with Ryanair on Wed.

    I was on Speke Boulevard (outside Speke retail park) roughly 20 mins before my flight was due to depart, I flagged a taxi there, arrived at the airport approx 15 min's before departure, went straight to the gate, and got on the plane with minutes to spare (so much so, that they had just called my name out over the mike on the plane)

    Thanks to on-line check in :j:j:j:j:j

    Once you check in (on-line) you will automatically print off your boarding card (its a A4 piece of paper)

    you will have to do it on-line where ever you are going either in your hotel or a local inter net cafe, make sure you can print it off though
  • hi,
    im booked on a flight to london in June, i applied for online checkin as im flying with my friend who is 18. The online checkin says you cant fly alone between the ages of 14-18, does that mean if i go with my 18 year old friend that i can do online check in? what do u think?
    thanks

    It means that if you and your friend booked the tickets together - ie you have only one booking reference you can use online check-in.

    If you didn't then you can't.
