Growing up, I remember my parents would often go the airport check-in desk, as managing two children with the pre-holiday bedlam of packing, travelling, hotels and getting up in the morning, didn't exactly leave time to do it online.
‘I travel all the time but got caught out by little-known rule that cost me £43’ As a travel reporter, I like to think I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to travel rules — but even I sometimes get caught out.
In the chaos of travelling to the airport, checking I had my passport seven times and then trying to find where I needed to go in Luton Airport — I didn't exactly get the chance to check-in online.
Having arrived at Luton Airport in the early hours of a Wednesday morning in early December, I didn't think much could go wrong.
Friends of mine have also expressed how they prefer to do it in person, in case their phone runs out of charge before they need to show their boarding pass.
