Printing Boarding Passes

Acoustic18

My wife, two children and me are flying from Belfast to Gatwick next week.

When I go into the ‘Print Boarding Passes’ link, the passes are shown on a page with some advertisements on the same page. Will our boarding passes be accepted if I copy and paste them into a separate word document and print them rather than printing out the page which has the advertisements on it along with the passes? It would reduce the number of pages I have to print from 8 to 4.

Thanks.

I would advise against it to be honest ,there is a possibility of the QR being skewed in some way which is the most important bit of info on the boarding pass

Use the airlines app and have them all on your phone. Which should be charged ..

whats wrong with using modern technology and getting a mobile boarding pass? Normally one person in a family has the bunch of passes, only here its all on a phone rather than paper.

manipulating barcodes on self crafted boarding passes could lead you to standing at the gate or security with wife and kids looking at you angrily as you are denied access and you need to go back and get a proper pass (i.e. find a desk, possibly wait in a queue and possibly pay dozens of euros each for a boarding pass re-printout )

It won't apply to most people but for me, I travel using a lot of multi-city flights.
The Aer Lingus app won't let me see these (have to use the website).
Nothing stopping me opening the PDF but it's as handy to just print off the page.

Mobile boarding passes aren't an option for everyone. Some people are technologically challenged, and some have old phones that aren't compatible with the airline's current app (and of course there's us dirty non-EU citizens who need hard copy boarding passes for Ryanair to stamp... :pac: ).

OP, if the advertisements are on a separate page from the boarding pass itself, you should be able to change your print options to only print the page containing the pass. Look for a "pages" option somewhere in your print dialog or print options screen.

Thanks for all the replies and advice, folks. Along with me printing them, Mrs A. will put them all on her phone.

Not a bad idea to have a print out as a backup. My phone ran out of battery enroute to overseas airport

Yep, just print the page with the barcode thing.

Do a screen cap, import it into your image editor, crop and print. Had always worked for me. I like to have a hard copy back up just in case my phone goes tits up.

Screen print or crop, no reason you would skew the QR unless you do something really silly
Crop it out and then print what you need, not hard if you are careful
