If you’re flying to Italy you can’t download a mobile boarding pass.
You need to use the staffed check in desks (15 min queue this morning an hour ahead of the BA548 to FCO). This is because you have a temperature check, and they will give you a paper form to fill in, required by Italian gov.
There are no pens available, so bring your own. You’ll have to hand it in on boarding. There is much confusion here - check-in said you hand it in on arrival and can fill it in on board, but you hand in on boarding.
15 minute security queues, busier than previous days.
I arrived an 65 minutes ahead of departure and only just made official boarding time.
Would it be not be in BA's interest to add the form to their Website and complete it electronically (assuming a large % of people book online) then have the list prepared as part of the manifest prior to departure? I'm assuming the Locator Form additional step bureaucracy isnt going away in a hurry!!
