As a victim of a miscoded fine I do not support the concept of "no fly if you owe fines". It is particularly nasty to be told at the start of 2 days travelling to get to your destination that you have to leave your travel companions at the airport to go into the relevant authority's office (which is not open until Monday morning) to pay a (possibly large) fine you had no idea about (because it wasn't yours) and pray you can get rebooked for on flights the following day without a further hefty payment. Totally ruins a trip with no or limited recourse.
