8 (forom 3 cities) of us travelling tomorrow on 3 PNRs to France. Struggling to deal with the digital verification process (Verifly doesnt like my sis-in-law's scottish NHS qr code, dPLF is a pain to do as we dont know seat numbers for some, etc)

Can I rock up to the First Wing with 8 passports and 8 printed out vacc certs and they can sort it for us? Thanks.

Sorry - i need to bump this - flying tomorrow and want to know if i need to spend two hours tonight trying to get this fixed - or if i can get to airport at 11am tomorrow for BA to help me and sort boarding passes? Thanks - and sorry for the bumped thread

Do not waste time with Verifly. Even the check-in agents at LHR think it is a joke.

Thanks! will go to FW with 8 pieces of paper (x3 sheets 24) and hope we get on the (cancelled and moved 2 hrs later) flight.

Flying used to be SOOOO much less stressful - even 32 sectors to Panama rtn was easier than this!!!

seems it’s working, as in I have an active pass on Verifly…..but from other posts it seems online check in won’t work anyway. Will find out tomorrow morning…..would love to skip airport check in.

Flying BA for the first time in yonks. Do you actually need to do the whole Verifly thing or is it optional? Is there any benefit? Flying HEL-LHR-TLS this week

TIA

Without status in my wife's situation, because I could not figure out how to "verifly her" I could not check her in and could not choose a seat for her because she has no status and at T-24, she was locked out of the seat selection process. The app is simply not intuitive for me and I did not wish to play with it to get it to function as it should. Perhaps it is on me.

Check in agent at the FW smiled as I gave her the 8 passports and I said, “I have all the covid certificates printed”. “That’s nice” she said and then printed the 8 boarding passes without looking at them! Lol. The queue for security was back out the FW entrance, so we headed to fast track north which was very empty.

So managed to do online check-in, so now waiting for AirPortr to pick up the bags so as to avoid bag drop.

Appreciate after the event now (and hope you got away OK), but I found VeriFLY couldn't cope with NHS Scotland QR codes (which scanned fine in person in France in March!) but in fairness they approved the PDF document from the NHS Inform website in a couple of minutes.

Yup. It used to work fine with NHS Scotland codes and then it broke sometime in March/April.

See my post #1688.

Last few trips I haven't bothered - and had no issues checking in. Really depends I guess on destination and that country's requirements.

I flew LHR-DFW on Saturday, wasn't sure I needed the Verifly app, but AA strongly suggested it (on a BA flight number), documents uploaded easily.
At T3, the queue for 'main cabin' were pretty long (well past the designated lanes in the check out area and over to the other side of the hall), I didn't spot the business check ins (in area E), but did spot a couple of 'verifly' specific check in desks with a handful of people in, so joined that. Within minutes of joining the queue it had at least tripled in length! But only took me about 5-10 mins to check in.
At the US end, not sure how much difference it made but others seemed to be taking a while at the passport check, I romped up, and it was literally a case of slide the passport in, question of 'where are you staying'...then 'off you go', no finger prints, no stamp in the passport or anything, others seemed to be there 5mins or so each.
Chatted to a fellow Brit in the queue who was at the counter far longer. Not sure what the key point was... Verifly (didnt ask), passport (he had a new passport since his last US trip, mine was the same), both on a 'new' ESTA.

Hi all

I have a friend who is a very inexperienced flyer (daughter of a good friend).

She is off to DEN on BA on Saturday and is getting stressed and confused (in equal message) about what she needs to.

So rather than solely relying on my views - especially as I haven’t flown to the US post pandemic- I would appreciate advice on the following points.

1. Does VeriFLY work for DEN?

Per the BA website it is one of the US destinations where it doesn’t and you have to do the attestation etc via MMB.

But the email she received yesterday said MMB only applies if you are flying to DFW/ORD/MCO/PHX

2. If VeriFLY does work for DEN does it bring any advantages - such as OLCI - vs.simply providing the info (proof of Covid vaccination/ attestation) at Check In.

For a youngish person she is unusually not too “tech savvy”!

3. Can the Attestation even be presented at Check In as a paper document or must it be uploaded (via either MMB or VeriFLY)?

Thanks as always for any responses
