Can't say i've ever been asked for one to the best of my knowledge, i usually use them as bookmarks when reading on the flight, i prefer reading to the movies. Why would they be asked for?

EVA is an onward flight to Taiwan. Sometimes they want to make sure that BKK is the required destination.. 2. Also in the days of SARs they wanted a boarding pass before Immigration and they would send you off to the Health Desk if you arrived from an African country..

And Baz, so the routine now at Heathrow with EVA is zone A, check in online first (i have already), go to self service, print of the stickers, stick them on the luggage, get the aforementioned flimsy boarding pass, deposit bags on then relevant belts, go on through to security via scanning your boarding pass, the e one from the app or flimsy one? You are pretty much no interaction with a human from arrival to security, is that right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, can't say i've ever been asked to the best of my knowledge. I'll fold them up, try to keep them 'safe', use the e pass from the app, just incase.

You are pretty much no interaction with a human from arrival to security, is that right? That sounds about right. I don't travel with hold luggage so can’t say 100%. The flimsy boarding pass wasn't accepted by the screen at Security, so I had to retrieve my phone from my bag to get through. At the boarding gate, I asked for a proper printed version in case it was needed at Swampy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Right now, I'm sat in the Classroom on Soi 13/4 listening to Barry Upton (and replying to Krapow!). I think Barry Upton has his detractors, but I have to say he's bloody professional and entertaining. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before covid you had to check in the luggage yourself via the self service, sticker on, but still queue up to interact with a human who individually took the bags onto the belt. Then i flew with Jet2 last year, you checked in the bags yourself, put on the sticker, then just took it over to where the belts were, set it on, and away it went, no human interaction. Thought it would all probably go like that soon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I was at the Eva check in recently at LHR & although you had your boarding pass & baggage labels you still had human contact when you got to the desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good! That's the way it was pre covid. You were directed to the self service portals, passport etc scanned, baggage labels given, you stuck them on round the handles or wherever. You then still had to join the queue where your passport was checked again, bags taken from you individually, and they put them on the belt. I prefer it that way, incase i make a f**k up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's saves time , they don't have to ask you any of the questions, because you've already confirmed you aren't carrying prohibited items , they just have to stick a tag on your bag and they don't have to print a boarding pass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
