The latest airline dark pattern: put online checkin behind a paywall. Of course only visible when you start the checkin flow and enter your personal info.

Does that mean you can't check-in online?
That's bizarre cos it also increases their staff needs at the airport.

Here in Singapore, I've seen cases of having to pay for a counter check-in instead of doing it online.

@yboulkaid they’ve been cranking all those dials up to 11 recently. Guessing they want to raise prices but don’t want to be too transparent about it ☹️
