Rare We_like_to_cruise Posted July 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) British Airways recommends using the Verifly App to check in. After numerous hours of inputting data, reaching dead ends in the app, installing and re-installing the app, my final result is wasted time and nothing to show for it. From what I can read on the BA website, I can still just simply bring my paper documents to the airport to check in, just cannot check in online without the *@#^! app. Has that been the experience of other Princess cruisers? I tried calling BA directly - not able to even leave a message, they simply hung up on me -- too busy ! Thank you.

mowogo Posted July 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I had no problems using Verifly for my two cruises on Carnival this year. It is not intuitive, however I was able to get it to work. For reference I have a digital record from my state and so was able to load the QR code into my app for vaccination validation and then the test results were approved a few minutes after I loaded them.

Esprit Posted July 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Tried to locate my wife on board Regal now. It said she was in a specific place on deck 17. The deck was correct but no where near where she actually was. The app’ is crap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted July 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I've tried to add verifly app info twice for 2 cruises. Gave up both times. It's not required, & only a few airlines even use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife doesn't drink more than a cocktail at dinner and when she ordered in the dining room they said her total for the day had been reached. She looked at me like " you couldn't have had 30 beers already". Customer service took off the charge for her dinner drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted July 19, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Do not worry about adding the Verifly app. It is not necessary. Our experience in flying to LHR and then home is that the airport staff prefer hard copies anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite this thread getting off topic with the Medallion app issues, I was hoping someone would chime in with info on the Verifly app. 👍👍😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter had to look for me the old fashioned way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
