Traveling from the UK to Sicily I used to use British Airways. Hhowever BA only issue boarding cards for the outward journey. The return boarding pass has to be obtained and printed out three days before the return leg.Easy Jet issues boarding passes for the Departure and return before you leave the UK.I have asked BA to look at their policy on this and they are not at all interested. Does anyone else find the British Airways policy on this really incomvenient.

It's a long time since we have used BA, but wish we still had the option (and the money). In the past boarding cards were never issued until you got to the airport. Now of course you checkin with the likes of EasyJat and RyanAir and get the pleasure of printing your own boarding card or even putting it on your mobile... i.e. you do the work for them. I'll be surprised with BA if it costs to get your boarding card on arrival at the airport at no cost... Hence I would not see it as a real problem. Now if you are talking simply checking in prior to getting to the airport and have no internest access, hence having to queue for your checkin at the airport, well that is a different matter

Thanks. Well, you have got it in one. If only British Airways could understand that .

To think John in the bad old days you had to be at the airport at least 2hrs before to checkin! Surely you simply need a web enables mobile these days and download it at any internet cafe with free wifi? Did BA not have their little kiosks at this airport where you could checkin for free. I know for a fact the budget companies will charge you a small fortune for the pleasure of doing so.

Thats intersting. I have had contact with BA on this question and they have not mentioned thart option,but I( will check it out mysellf.However surely the most simple solution is to issue return boading cards prior to departure as per Easy Jet

Here you go John RyanAir only allow you to print your return 7 days before and many (2 week holiday people) complain about that. IT varies from Company to Company, Alitalia are the same as BA. It may just take proper companies a little longer to get in to the modern world or it could be they (as bigger companies) are not allowed to do the same as the budget airlines for some reason.
