Same yesterday. The BA lady admitted she had heard of Verifly but said they didn't use it and wanted to see the paper docs - anyway, was my first trip using the App and I can imagine it would be a good thing if it becomes more widely accepted

Shocked and delighted but…showed up many hours early (first TATL in 18 months, wanted to revel in the glory) to IAD today. The BA desk agent asked for all of our testing and PLF paperwork. I offered our Verifly, expecting a “what is that” response. To the contrary, she was delighted, glanced at the green check mark for my wife and me, and printed boarding passes literally within seconds. May this be consistent with the rest of our pending travel!

I have my first trip using veriFly tomorrow. It’s MXP-LHR-LAX
Got both UK and USA passes greenlit for me and my kids.
if I change seats at OLCI, do I need to redo a locator form and VeriFLY pass since it has the plane seat number on? I sure hope not!
Small thing, app wouldn’t release the pass for UK until I put in a dummy arrival test number. We don’t have that since we’ll stay airside and we’re just transiting but the app still wanted a arrival test reference number so I put 0000000

I also used a fake number on VeriFLY for the same reason. I think I entered not applicable or something like that.

Seat change after locator form
hi,
I’m looking to change assigned seat at check in but I already filled out, printed and uploaded to VeriFLY the locator form which has my current seat number.
do I need to reprint the updated locator form if I change the seats? Or can I avoid that? I sure hope so

Used/using verifly for AMS-LHR tommorow. Completed everything and checked in just now. Got a mobile boarding pass so I guess I’ll just whizz straight through pass the check in desks. Let’s see what comes about when I get to AMS (and LHR) tommorow.
will report back.
will report back.

In theory you need to do a new PLF. In reality we known NHST&T are using very blunt logic on any positive cases, such as putting the whole aircraft under contact tracing, so personally if it was a move of a few rows I wouldn't bother. You could also enter "n/a" and leave it like that.

Here’s my recent experience with VeriFly on a MXP-LHR-LAX
I uploaded all docs and tests for both the UK and US passes. A bit cumbersome but straightforward. Got green passes for me and the kids so proceeded to check in.
At MXP agent briefly asked if we had the tests and docs but that was it, they proceeded to print boarding passes for both LHR and LAX.
No further check on my verifly passes until boarding the LAX flight where gate agent requested to see the passes. Another agent was actually going around the gate area pushing for people to download verifly and use it.

VeriFLY for LHR to KEF?
Have a very early flight to Reykjavík on Tuesday. Contacted BA as I cannot see any area in Manage my Booking where I can upload the proof of my double vaccination. They said I should use VeriFLY to upload. I was surprised that this would work for a flight FROM london to Iceland but the rep told me VeriFLY was now used on all flights…
i doubt it as I cannot see any option to select Iceland in the app. Am I wrong? Thank you
PS: apologies if this is not the right sub-forum to post!!

Well, been checking this thread for any experience at Madeira, so gave it all a try yesterday. Created my trip with booking reference etc. Uploaded my Negative test kindly provided by the local health authorities yesterday for Free. Did my PLF this morning with added Paid for Day 2 test reference. Everything went Green in the Verifly APP. Online checking opened an hour ago. I would bet my life I wouldn’t be able to get my boarding Pass, but low and behold I was able to retrieve it! Is this Verifly at work!?
Now, let’s see whether this actually speeds my Bag Drop up tomorrow at Funchal, or I just end up in a single long line with all the other passengers that didn’t do this !
Will report back tomorrow!
