Needless to say I'm pretty p!ssed off with Jet2. I selected online check-in as I'm travelling with hand luggage only and with a departure time of 07:30 I planned to arrive at GLA at around 06:30 and go straight to the departure gate. Now it looks like I'll have the joys of getting up an hour earlier, leaving the house an hour earlier and spending an hour more than planned hanging about an airport terminal at silly o'clock in the morning. All so I can have some teenager wearing a copious amount of make-up ask me if I packed my bags myself.
Thank's very much Jet2.
Thomsons do the same. They only have a certain percentage of seats available for OLCI. After they've all been allocated you can only check in at the airport. If you're late to check in online, or a lot of people have already prebooked seats then you're out of luck.
