Can you print Aerlingus booking info at the airport?

    I'm flying out of Dublin tomorrow and dont have access to a printer. I seem to recall seeing several of those small machines with a screen and Aerlingus branding before, can I use those to check in etc?

    What about a smartphone?

    I haven't checked in online or anything yet as I'm not sure what to do.

    Yeah, you can use one of the self service machines to check in. You just scan your passport.

    Yes you can use the machine, just have your confirmation order.

    Thanks, would I be right in saying I have to do that 45 mins before my flight? Does anyone know if those machines have a 'reprint your boarding card' option, so I could check in online now, and then 'reprint' my boarding pass when I get there?

    45 minutes before your flight is cutting it way too fine. I'd double that time. Used to be able to reprint but I couldn't the last time and had to queue for customer service desk.

    Check in and print boarding pass takes literally 10-15 seconds, why would you complicate things by separating them?

    Do the lot on arrival at the airport, by far the simplest option.

    It's not really. I've flown several times a year for the past 5+ (don't usually use Aerlingus though, hence the question) and basically always get to the airport 30-40 mins before my flight as I hate hanging around there.

    Anyway the way the buses are this time I'm going to arrive with enough time to make the paper and handwrite the boarding pass :)

    You've been exceptionally lucky so, I've been stuck in security for minimum 20 mins and max 90 if I don't use airport genie. Bear in mind that this is summer holiday season and the airport is busy

    Can you be exceptionally lucky dozens of times in a row? I find board gates nearly always open around the time they claim to have closed, and I'm on the plane a good deal after scheduled take off. Flights usually land on time because they make up for it while in the air.

    You can check in online and select your seat for free from 30 hours up to 2 hours before your flight and choose the option to print your card at the self service kiosk. I do this all the time.
