Those travelling abroad this summer have been warned over a little-known boarding pass rule that could lead to problems when returning to the UK.
This is because the procedures around boarding passes are not the same across differing airlines and airports, leading to extra fees and delays.
To make sure flyers have everything they need when travelling back from countries like Turkey and Morroco, Ryanair and easyJet have shared some advice.

According to Ryanair, all travellers departing from a Morrocan airport must have a printout of their boarding pass as digital versions will not be accepted.
The airline explained: "If you depart from a Moroccan airport, a digital boarding pass will not be accepted. You must carry a physical printout of your boarding pass, and you’ll need to present this boarding pass at the Moroccan airport check-in facility."
It also states that digital passes are not accepted in Turkish airports, meaning a printout is needed.
This comes as travellers on Tripadvisor claim they have been fined 50 euros for not having a printed copy of their boarding pass at Morrocan airports. However, these fines have not been mentioned by Ryanair or easyJet, according to the Metro.

EasyJet states that it does not fine or charge people to print their boarding pass at the airport so it is always worth asking for a physical copy before heading to your destination.
However, the same cannot be said for Ryanair which charges passengers a fee of up to £20.
Regardless of where you choose to holiday this summer, it may be worth ensuring you have a printed version of your boarding pass before leaving the country.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
