Thread: Listing on a flight as ZED ticket holder: What for? How do you do it?

Also, BA always wants me to do via the kiosk. Last week they even give me a seat at the machine, and I changed seats assigments as a revenue pax.

Intresting, would this be possible with a paper ticket? I will be in MAD with a paper ZED trying to get to SVQ (along with everyone else) and that would make things a little easier.

No, with a paper ticket it is not possible. Even if you are listed.
But I am sure that any agent will check you in very quick, because the system is very flexible.
if there are seats available for standby travelers, the system at the check-in will issue boarding passes with seat assigment so the agent will give you a seat right this moment. It happens all the time.
