Comments on: TSA to Aer Lingus: Hello? http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/11/19/tsa-to-aer-lingus-hello/ Strategies for Internet citizens Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:59:11 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mary Branscombe http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/11/19/tsa-to-aer-lingus-hello/#comment-90402 Mary Branscombe Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:16:25 +0000 http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/11/19/tsa-to-aer-lingus-hello/#comment-90402 The system is set up for all of Aer Lingus' flights and in UK & Europe if you have no luggage to check you just pitch up at security and strip off. Those programmers at AL need to keep up to date with the TSA; perhaps the TSA could offer a Web service with the security message of the day that the airline systems could print onto the boarding pass for them? US to UK with only hand luggage? Maybe it's not a common enough edge case for them to bother coding separately for it.

However, I pretty much always go to the kiosk by the counter and print out a pass anyway, easier than a stack of letter-size folded pages to carry in a jacket pocket and present to whoever. I also always fly from MHT where that's easier, too... (along with pretty much everything else, if you don't care about direct flights). This probably varies by airport.

No need to visit the check-in counter. Ryanair, the worlds largest international carrier use this method also. This works in Europe, I’ve flown from Spain to Ireland using this method.
