Online Checkin gor IRROPS - beware!
Curious problem yesterday flying SYD-MEL on QF (not PusStar!).
I was booked on the 2pm flight, which was cancelled around 4 hours out (presumably lack of ticket sales - when I chose my seat when booking only a dozen or so seats were taken).
Rebooked on the 13:30, no problem. Broke my own rule by checking in online to secure a decent seat on the rebooked (and much fuller) flight.
I'm old-fashioned. I believe that Gentlemen should wear a hat in public, Officers should carry a sword into battle and boarding passes should be printed. Anyhoo...
I arrived at the gate just before the boarding call. When the QF App informed me that boarding had commenced, my boarding pass VANISHED.
Nowhere to be found in the app. ...???
I wasn't alone - as the SLC filed past and I stood at the counter waiting for a (civilised) paper boarding pass, at least 3 other pax who were rebooked were lined up behind me with the same problem.
You have been warned!
