Don't get caught out by UK airline rule that applys to all passengers

UK airline rules on boarding passes are creating travel risk for passengers who rely on digital documents only. The article says many holidaymakers headed for sun in 2026 may face delays, extra fees, or last-minute printing if their phone-based boarding pass is not accepted by their airline or departure/arrival airport. It notes that rules differ across carriers: one insists on digital passes only, others accept both paper and digital, and some airports still require paper regardless of airline. While major UK airlines generally allow either digital access via apps or printing from home or airport kiosks, the article warns that easyJet and Wizz Air have networks where mobile boarding passes are not supported. It specifies that, as of 2026, 21 easyJet airports do not accept mobile boarding passes for return travel from multiple countries, listing destinations including Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia, and others. It also states that Wizz Air lists five airports where mobile passes aren’t supported: Agadir, Marrakesh, Cairo Sphinx, Zaragoza, and Tirana.
