This worked fine at Zurich, although the gate staff looked a bit confused at putting an iPad under the scanner! But at LCY I was told I was not allowed to use it, and I had to go back to the desk and get a 'real' boarding pass, but nobody could say why - just LCY security

If it is true, then shouldn't the BA app not allow mobile boarding passes for LCY? Or did I just get grumpy staff? Anyone else experienced this?

It's not just LCY. I've had a tablet refused at LGW.
I was told there was a UK government or pseudo-government rule which limited mobile boarding passes to phones.
