    I'm flying AA tomorrow and when I checked in online it says DUB doesn't accept mobile boarding passes and I have to print it. That's obviously not true.

    As I don't have a printer, anyone know if AA have kiosks at DUB so I can print the boarding pass without queueing up. I'm not checking bags.

    They have a check in desk at the airport. They will print it for you there.

    Yes , American have self-service kiosks at Dublin Airport .

    Can confirm, you can avoid most of the queuing if you only have carry on and use the machines. You still have to answer the silly questions from the security guy and get the green sticker mind.

    The OP is asking why mobile passes aren’t a thing for this flight when there are an actual thing.

    OP I’ve seen this a couple of times, some airlines disable mobile passes for certain reasons and some that are legacy airline systems. The most popular I’ve seen is if you’ve booked through a 3rd party (my work’s corporate travel tool for example) the airline’s app will not allow you to have a mobile pass. You have to collect at the desk or print it out.

    It’s silly but the systems are old and creaky (in terms of user experience) but they work pretty much 99.9999% of the time.

    There are no mobile passes for this flight as all passengers are "screened" by the lads in the suits and a security sticker is then placed on the back of your passport.
    Pretty obvious really .
