[nlagalle]

Get them from the service desk, they still use the cardboard type ..

I always get the from the QP...

The ink on the majority of my boarding pass collection has faded to the point where it is difficult to read any details on the boarding pass. :-|

Me too! I put some with some plastic wrapping, stupid idea!! since plastic makes it fade

Some (All?) QuickCheck machines allow this functionality of re-printing an already checked in passenger's boarding pass. I don't know if that upgrade has been rolled out to all QuickCheck machines Australia-wide though.

Can I ask for an update on these QuickCheck machines?

Back in 2008 I started an OLCI from home for a domestic flight I was booked on the next day. I did not have a printer at the time, just wanted to 'check in' to see my seat allocation and whether or not there was a need for me to select a new seat as part of the OLCI process.

As it turned out I was happy with my allocated seat so I did not complete the check in process from home.

The next morning I arrived at the airport and went to check in at the kiosk.
After typing in my booking code a message appeared saying "there is an issue with your check-in, please see staff at the information desk".

The staff at the desk informed me the issue was that I had previously tried to check in online and as a result the kiosk option would now be no use to me.
Of course this was not a problem as the staff at the info desk were easily able to complete my check in and print me my BP.


Now fast forward 2 years and I have an upcoming international flight next week.

Can I check in online from home to see my seat allocation the day before my flight, or can I only check in from home if I am prepared to print off my boarding pass then and there and fully complete the online check in process??


Thanks

You don't need to to OLCI to check / change your seat - There is a "Select Seats" option in the "Manage your Booking" area.

I have for at least the past 12 months, always OLCI'd then used a Kiosk to print out my boarding pass.

Thanks for that flashware.

Thanks, although I have tried this method and even though I can currently chose a seat, it does not show that if I have had a seat already allocated to me.

For my flight in question the current available seats are only middle seats.

I am in hope that my 'window' seat request may have already been allocated to me and therefore, should not select a seat now rather wait until check in to see which seat I have been given :-|

If you go to http://www.checkmytrip.com/ and put in your booking reference and surname you will be able to see if you have seats assigned.

Ok thanks. In that case I do not have specific seats allocated, but it does say "airline has confirmed your seat or meal requests".
