Ok good to hear and thank you.

No, not a B2B. Overnight Friday stay. I’m slumping it in a nearby hotel until tomorrow. I was at the gate 20 minutes before departure having cleared security with my digital boarding pass. Only to be told I still need to go to the check in counter first 45 minutes minimum before departure to validate my booking.

is this right, if anyone’s been in the same boat? Apparently it is for UL as CMB effectively denied me because I didn’t do this. I didn’t have to do this AUH-CMB outbound.
