    Unsure this would be the right place to ask, considering majority will have Irish/UK passports...but here goes.

    EU citizen living in Ireland for the last year. According to gov Uk, does not need an ETA to travel to UK.

    Question: has anyone had issues with this recently? In particular with the blue and yellow low cost airline? Check in online is prohibited. What happens ?

    are you sure you don’t need an ETA? The exclusion is only for Irish and British passport holders, not for Irish residents.

    Have not travelled yet.

    Will probably have to check in at airport as opposed to online

    Wondering if airline can enforce a policy that overrides govt ?
