Premier check in - shown the red card!

Hello

From memory you only have to show the silver card to check in at the premier economy desk. (when flying economy).

What happens then if you still have the silver card and are really a red??

would they check? turn you back to the economy check in queue?

just out of intrested anyone tried this. ...

he he he ;)

Your FC card is normally checked by the person doing the initial security screening at the entrance to the PE or UC check-in areas, they do not have access to a screen at that point to check validity but remember the date of expiry is on the card so you could get caught out.

Also, the check in staff will be able to tell from their screen that you aren't silver.

It is worth the risk [?]

Your call, but......if the economy queue is snaking all the way round the terminal [}:)][}:)]

whats even more gutting is ive only just lost silver, and know after this I will be a silver again!

I think we are going to get there early! that could be the best bet

I think if you just lost silver it might be worth the chance?

at the end of the day they will see your a FF and I doubt will refuse check in.

but if economy is quiet you may as well use that?

just my $0.02

Define only just lost Silver! When you go down a tier, you have a month's grace anyway just to show you what you are missing, eg.

I had to have 30 TP's by the end of October to requalify for FC Au, yet my card was valid to the end of Nov. Anyway, I just made it

Otherwise I will be brutual and say go and use the line that you are entitled to - I have grown tired of the Securicor agents at the front of W and J check in not doing their jobs properly, they have a laminated card that tells that who can use the facilities and Silver cards now have the expiry date embossed (unlike the year they decided to print on the back!). Securicor were sent a strong reminder to check all entitlement correctly a few months ago after I and a few others complained about the number of inelligble people that were using the W/J check-in.

Thanks,

But your avatar here still shows Silver...

Sorry to say, but the 'check-in snake' awaits...

Thanks,
Richard

Sorry whats a avatar is that the little card that sits under my name on this forum

Woops forgot to change it in September Ill be back to Silver by December so dont worry! LOL im a silvery red at the moment!!! or can i be pink

Anyway whats the earliest you can check in for a flight leaving at 9pm from Heathrow, as what we could do is turn up earlier and check in.

thanks

How earlier are you thinking?

I've checked in for a flight at 18:30 (VS9) at 10:30am before.....

Thanks,
Richard

Hello

9am or 10am - and then going away agina and coming back later (do not leave to far)

thanks

I've checked in at 6:30am gone to work (in the city) and gone back to LHR to get the last NY flight!

Technically you shouldnt leave the airport as if you were delayed getting back you could delay the flight etc but in reality you'll be fine..

Thanks for that I will be checking in early in the correct queue! and coming back earlier I can't wait now!
