This trip is now around the corner. My family and I will be arriving AMS from the US on DL. We do have connecting award tickets AMS-FCO-MLA on Alitalia, but we will not be using them as I have purchased non-stop AMS-MLA on Air Malta. I recently read that Ryanair requires non-EU passport holders to check in at the ticket counter outside security even if they're not checking any luggage. My question is: Do we have to be worried about being denied boarding at the gate by Air Malta? Should we just plan on the hassle of exiting security to check in at the Air Malta ticket counter and going through security again?
Your post is quite confusing!
1) How does Ryanair fit with your Air Malta flight?
2) Will you use your award AMS-FCO-MLA for the return? If yes, it will have been cancelled after your no-show. Why should you be denied boarding at the gate?
3) Why don't you check-in your Air malta flight using OLCI?
4) Will you have luggage? If yes, there is a big chance that DL will not check it through to MLA, in which case you'll have to retrieve it and check-in at the counter, then back to airside including a security check.
I may have missed something, but you see what I mean (I hope I was clear).
