PLF QR code for Gibraltar not arrived and flying tomorrow. Help!

Hi Folks

I completed the PLF this morning for my flight to Gibraltar tomorrow morning.

Now 9.30pm and no sign of QR code yet. Is this normal? Should I complete the form again an resubmit?

First time flying since COVID and starting to get anxious for fear of being denied boarding.

I would try resubmitting the form online again, and doing screenshots as you go. I don't think BA are checking it before departure. You could also bring along the old form, which is on the easyJet site.

I just did as you suggested and the link just goes to the form I submitted.

Will resend.

Thanks for the advice.

Simply reapply. The GOV UK website is quite quick. Simply get the Email response on your Mobile phone and good to go.

You can do it on the same day, didnt have my wife passport details to hand, and acknowledgement came thru very quickly.

Trust everything gets sorted and safe trip home

Update: submitted online form twice. Never received QR code. Printed and filled in hard copy. Needn’t have bothered. No one asked to see it!

Could it be in your spam? Mine and 5 others worked fine just in the last day or two

Just to add that there appears to be problems receiving the Code for those using Hotmail accounts. I've seen this reported on other forums so might explain the issues wb1969 had.

One of the people I’m travelling with used his Hotmail uk account for it and worked fine so it mustn’t be a general problem with them

Mine is a hotmail.com from turn of the century. I have just re applied using my work email address and received the code within a couple of minutes.

Was yours checked by anyone?

+1 for Hotmail problem.
Completed one for me with work address. Arrived within 2 minutes. Mrs Harry's Hotmail did not arrive on either of two submissions. Tried to my work address and it arrived within a couple of minutes again.

Clearly a problem somewhere with some Hotmail accounts.

Arrived today, landing in GIB rather than AGP unlike the earlier unfortunate 492. Happy quarantine folks.
And can confirm that PLF code absolutely checked at immigration in GIB.
Cabin crew were handing out paper copies on board for the many who do not read FlyerTalk / did not realise it was required.

There is a table on the right hand side of the immigration hall full of empty copies too should the cabin crew run out.
