But the "check in" for flights to and from Europe is simply filing a GAR online with skydemon etc. and a call to the cops where their primary concern is smuggling drugs, people and money etc. it does not involve diverting to a location where the cops are based. For flights to Ulster I just stick a note in with the receptionist at the cop shop in the town while I'm picking up my morning coffee prior to departure so again not an expense or major inconvenience. The primary focus of the Ulster flight notification is I believe to indentify those who may like to sing Fields of Athenry with a tad too much gusto and conviction.
