Did OLCI for both my flights today.
OLCI for my EI flight opened at 5:50am - like I was going to be up for it then even though I did get up some 30 minutes later. It completely escaped my mind until much later when I was luxuriating under a shower in the local leisure centre. Well there wasn't a lot I could do about it then, was there? In any case EI allows you to do OLCI some 30 days before the flight provided you have pre-booked your seat so the possibility of SEQ1 two and a half hours later wasn't even zilch - it was -0!! I don't know what SEQ it is and won't until tomorrow and quite frankly I don't care. All I know is that it was over in a matter of minutes. I filled in my name, PNR and email address, confirmed the number of bags, changed the auto-generated seat assignment and, Voila!! All done in just over a minute. y)
Fast forward a few hours when I realised that OLCI had just opened for my VS flight so, why not? So, I filled in the requisite information on the OLCI and clicked the link. I waited and waited and waited and was directed to the Manage my Booking page! :0 Back to square one and repeated the exercise only to end up once more on the MMB page v( Back to square one again and this time third time lucky - well after waiting for ages with those dreadful interstitial pages. Finally on to the OLCI page which has been pre-populated and so I click on the Check In button but it throws up an error message :0 Although the country in which my phone is registered is there on one phone number it has defaulted back to blank for the second one and so I have to search for it thinking that VS is in the minority of sites using Republic of Ireland instead of Ireland
Finally, finally finally I am checked in. I look on the clock in the corner of the MacBook and it has taken seven minutes! :0 :0 And that's with nearly everything pre-populated!! :0 This really is a joke! OK, I wasn't there to get SEQ1. I don't even know what SEQ I did get but with the clunkiness of the site and the ridiculous loop it sent me on ( which it did last year also) I wouldn't be surprised if it were SEQ 138. :w
