Thanks Capetonian
They did this to me last week as well.
Airport check in is a nonsense, it is a computer terminal, that you have to use to print your own boarding pass. The APIS is just a scan of your passport.
It really leaves an sour taste in the mouth. Even though it isn't my funds, I hate being squeezed by these cads and snides.
I will certainly let you know.
