Yesterday I checked in at Paddington for LHR-IAD, he took my Exec Card and popped it in the easy check-in m/c and out popped my boarding card and receipt all in Red ink.

He didn't seem perturbed and said that is what it was doing all day. When I got to LHR, I didn't see any other red boarding passes, the red gave me no grief at security, the lounge or any where else, I was just puzzled why I had a red inked boarding pass.

(and no, I'm not a grumbly complaining rude passenger...... in case it was deemed a red card!)(or at least I didn't think I was!)
