Airports unable to support OLCI
So I have been unable to check in online for my NUE-LGW, phoned GGL and they have said this airport can't support OLCI.
which other airports are the same? is there a list anywhere?

Winter 17/18 LHR LGW short haul new flights
and here

Also the back to back guide has the information in the Wiki
There is a partial list here, though it relates more to the App, there are quite a lot of places which accept printed OLCI boarding passes but not the App.

All the Greek airports except ATH and SKG are not on FLY, as are the smaller French airports such as LIG and EGC. NUE being a trial route is in this category at the moment, but if they move to a permanent service I would expect that airport to move to FLY too.

Many thanks @corporate-wage-slave, does your knowledge know no bounds?
I did search before creating the thread, including on the dashboard, and only got peoples individual threads about being unable to check in, could your excellent thread be added to the dashboard?

Just spent 15mins on the telephone with the Gold Line trying to figure out why I can't OLCI for my flight tomorrow from GOT, thought there maybe was an issue ie flight oversold, cancelled etc they were no help and had me trying to do it from a laptop rather than app, try to do it using Locator # rather than through MMB, log out of account and log back in etc and nothing worked. Finally he told me just to go to the airport a little earlier as sometimes they randomly choose people to check in at the airport, no big deal as I already have 01A booked.
Wish I had just checked here first......

Into LCY there is no OLCI for departures from:
- JTR, JMK, JSI, EGC, UIP or CMF. FLY is not deployed, and the local station system is used. ATH reconciles the Greek routes, whilst LCY reconciles the French routes.
- GRX (Uses Iberia's system. Although not widely known - it IS possible to check-in via the Iberia website).

Yes certainly the case last year. My sis was a frequent user of the route and after the first time just paid to prebook a seat and rocked up ~70mins before departure to avoid the scrum
Judging by the usual crowd on flights out of that region I imagine there is a lot of highly stressed queuing going on in front of closed desks at T-3hrs

I'd be almost certain that Kefalonia, Almeria and Figari will not be on FLY.
