easyJet passengers urged to follow rule or risk 'missing flight'
EasyJet passengers have been reminded of a crucial 30-day rule - and overlooking it could land you in trouble. According to the airline, the online check-in process, described as "quick and easy", can be completed anywhere between 30 days and 2 hours before departure. With countless holidaymakers gearing up for the summer getaway, the better prepared you are, the smoother and quicker your boarding experience will likely be. Travellers are reminded: "You can check in between 30 days and 2 hours before your flight departs and you can download or print your boarding passes for all your flights. You may need your passport or identity card and we‘ll ask you to confirm your contact details." Your boarding pass can be saved on the free easyJet mobile app or printed out. A PDF on your phone won't cut it, as airport security is unable to scan it. If you misplace it, you can print another copy, just make sure it comes out clearly. Get a new boarding pass

Passengers may also need to get a new boarding pass and check in again, even if they have done so before. It stresses: "If you make any change to your booking – like adding hold luggage or flight changes – make sure you check in again, and print off a new boarding pass." It adds: "If you have any technical problems whilst checking in, please don’t give up and do try again later. If you continue to have difficulty, please ask our ground crew for help when checking in at the airport: this must be done before the bag drop closing time." You may miss your flight Urging people to read its "important timings" section, easyJet stresses that all passengers need to ensure they have all documents ready and arrive at the airport in time or risk missing their flight. It reads: "These are the important timings when you travel with us. You need to have all your documents ready and leave enough time to get through the airport so that you can be on time for your flight. If you’re late, we may not accept you for travel and you’ll miss your flight. "All timings are based on your flight’s scheduled departure time. Unless we tell you otherwise, these timings still apply even if your flight is delayed, as we always do what we can to make up any delay." The budget carrier serves more than 150 destinations across Europe and North Africa, operating from numerous UK airports. In a welcome boost for holidaymakers, the airline has also announced new flights to the Canary Islands, Egypt, France, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Poland, and Slovenia. Launching this winter, the new routes will cement easyJet's position as the sole airline offering flights to some of these popular holiday destinations from three UK airports.
