Default Planes in Europe

I just picked up all of my documents from the travel agent today. We
will be doing 3 flights within Europe. One from Paris to Budapest, one
from Amsterdam to Seville (with a change of plane in Madrid) and one
from Seville to Barcelona.

They are all e-tickets. I won't have a printer so I can't get boarding
passes. Do we just go up to the check-in counter and show them the
copies of the schedules the TA gave us? I'm assuming that they will
not speak English.

TIA,

I think maybe the only place in the world where I have checked in and
found that *nobody* spoke English was a grass strip served by a twice
weekly twin otter in the Himalayas in Nepal. Otherwise it has never
been an issue.

As for check in any good hotel should be able to help you with their own
equipment or, at a pinch, they should be able to point you at an
internet cafe nearby. You will find that, in airports, there are more
and more self service check in machines - the easiest way to make them
work is slide the credit card you used to pay for the ticket into the
appropriate slot but there are other ways such as typing in your 6
character booking reference (the one issued by the airline not the
reservations system used by your agency but they could be the same) or
even your name and flight number. You may have to select your
language. In the end there are always people around you can ask and
old fashioned check in desks.


Thank you.
