Advance information
Roland Perry
For the first time Easyjet made me fill in Passport (etc) details for a
flight back to the UK, and I see that BMI Baby are now saying that if
you are flying to Spain you have to do a manual checkin [but at online
checkin prices I assume] so they can grab your passport details.

And BMI Baby now retrospectively nagging their customers for this
information (ie on bookings made some time ago, for *all* flights from
now on).
They don't remember your details, so you have to type it all in each
time...

I see that Ryan Air require passport details and check them, marking the
sections in the boarding pass as they do.
German Wings just want booking code and surname,
There is a great inconsistency.
I assume some airlines search for excuses to refuse boarding. The more
information they want you to type in the better chance of a typo

I don't think they are trying to catch people out, but in order to
comply with the latest UK rues they must have at least passport number,
expiry date and date of birth/citizenship of the traveller.

Ryanair have had these for ages. But I don't think it's to catch
people out, as Ryanair only like to catch people out when they can
charge them for something.
easyJet do differentiate between domestic and international - domestic
doesn't request anything of that nature.

But they do get to charge you
If you passport details printed on the BC aren't correct, you will (assuming
somebody notices) be sent back to the 40 pound a time check in desk, for a
new one.

Not really.

No, because that would have closed (40 minutes before departure) by
the time the flight was boarding.
They *might* be able to cane you for �299 for a ticket for the next
flight, but I reckon most people would give up and go home rather than
pay that.

At STN the security staff check (just like they also weigh your carry on
bags)

I assume that's Ryanair-initiated - it's by no means universal.
Edinburgh, for instance, don't check ID at all - or at least they
never did for me, though I've only flown EZY from there.
I've also never had my carry-on weighed at Stansted, though, even when
flying FR.
