If you're like most UK travellers, you probably prefer to download your boarding pass onto your phone to avoid the hassle of queuing at an airport kiosk or finding a printer. While early check-in and digital boarding passes offer a convenient and eco-friendly alternative, some passengers still prefer the reassurance of a physical boarding pass. Ryanair's chief, Michael O'Leary, has announced that from May , the airline will fully transition to digital, with plans in motion to eliminate airport check-in desks entirely.
This means that the company will no longer accept printed boarding passes, requiring passengers instead to have their boarding passes ready for scanning on their phones.
This change could therefore help to do away with such unexpected costs. The policies of other airlines vary, but many are content to accept both paper and digital boarding passes, reports the Mirror.
The boarding pass rules for TUI depend on whether you're flying with them or not. If you've booked through TUI but are flying with a different airline, you'll need to visit that airline's specific website to find out their boarding pass regulations.
On the TUI website, customers are informed: "To log into the airline website you will be asked for your flight reference number. Please note, this is not the same as your TUI booking reference. Your flight reference number will be a 6-character alpha-numeric code and can be found on your booking confirmation, e-ticket or in manage my booking on the TUI website.
