Thanks for that. I missed this when originally reported, and thankfully haven't been stung by it. It sounds like it would be fairly annoying, especially for Y passengers who would like to pick a seat in front of the plane as soon as online check-in opens. I hope it gets sorted soon, as this adds another ridiculous layer to the whole process.

Both. Electronic prompt at OLCI and also at the airport desks! Took the agent giving a phonecall to sort out. She said if I proceeded straight to departures without passing by the desk it probably would have turned me back when I scanned my boarding pass at the entrance of security.

Agreed. I would expect a breakfast on the ATH sector to have a little bit more to it. Failing that, maybe an additional snack or something before arrival. I wouldn't expect ATH to be catered in the same way as VIE or LIN- which appears to be the case.

Yes but what can they give as a desert? It already had one. I think its enough for a 4 hour flight.
