Checking in online with aerlingus

Anyone done it recently?

From reading their website you must only have carry on luggage to be able to do this? However a mate is insisting that you can book your seats online and still hand in your bag at the check in desk?

(pain in the hole being allowed to bring fcuk all fluids and having to check in the bags

)

In Cork anyway theres a self check in machine thing for thoe who booked online. The you go to a quicker line(bag and tag i think it called) just to drop off the bags.

Cant see anything about it on their site. Heres a quote from the web check in section

:

'Web Check-in is available for passengers with cabin baggage only'

That's not the same thing as online check-in.
At the airport, you can check yourself in but you also get the option to specify how many bags you wish to check-in.
Then there's a "Bag Drop" desk, where they tag your bags and put them on the belt. I'm not sure that this is available online but there's certainly no obvious reason why it couldn't be.
