debgreg Posted January 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We are off on Saturday on Oasis of Seas. We have Virgin flights from the UK and we have to check in 24hrs before but as they are scheduled flights how do we check in for the return flights without internet? Does this mean we will have to buy a package especially if we want to book our seats 72 hours in advance, I presume yes [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, they can check you in. If not, then you would likely need internet access. Sometimes the ship runs a special and offers an hour for a reduced price on the last day. Another option is to have a trusted friend/relative shoreside do this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debgreg Posted January 1, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks Bob looks like we will have to buy a package, no access to the lounges. Is it better to pre book ( currently £12 day for one device) or do it onboard, I do remember seeing signs for it Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been having various promos on internet packages. However, if you just want access for one day (for your airline check-in), then you can only purchase that on board.

debgreg Posted January 1, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks but we need to check in 72hours before so we can book seats together. My sons GF will probably want to FT her mum so we might as well book 1 package , I did look when the offers were on but it was no cheaper, thanks for the replies [emoji4] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmapt Posted January 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hello, you might meet someone that has a internet package and they will let you use theirs. I have shared may internet to new friends on board the day before we docked. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a weeks package you can share it as long only one device is logged on at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGinMTL Posted January 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ask somebody at home to do it for you. I always do it fot my daughter. Or if you are not at sea. You can find internet in port Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debgreg Posted January 2, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks everyone we are going to get one package between us Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvraj Posted January 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2018 You can download the app and use it to check in. If you are able to use you mobile phone say at port where you might find free wifi then that is an option. I have flown on Virgin previously. My preference is to pay the charge and book the seats in advance. I check in using the app on my phone once I arrive at port as I am able to use my phone (O2 network) in used without incurring huge charges.

You can check in at the airport but risky if the flight is overbooked. We fly Virgin regularly and pay when we book the flights for seats we want. The Diamond concierge will print the boarding passes but the loyalty ambassadors won't,maybe Guest services might print them if you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazz88 Posted January 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Depending on what network you're on it could be cheaper to connect using phone data. Me and my husband were on Oasis in November and we are on o2 so just used our data to check in. It was £5.99 a Day and fairly quick speeds plus we could use it for the whole day Sent from my SM-A520F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
