So I'm not a frequent flyer but I'll be heading off to Greece soon, however, I've booked a slightly earlier return flight than my friends so I'll be on my own for the journey back.

Question 1: I'm wondering how online check-in works regarding baggage tags? I'm able to check in on my phone, receive an electronic boarding pass and select my seat. However, I'm unsure how I go about receiving my baggage tags to attach to my suitcase?

Do I just go up to the same kiosks I could have checked in at anyway and get one from there? Or is there another way to go about this?

Question 2: I've lost the debit card I originally booked the ticket on. I rang them up and the lady didn't provide much clarity as to what the procedure is but basically said the chances are you won't be asked for it. She asked if I have any documentation from the bank stating the card is lost, but all I have is a few letters from the bank saying 'this is your new card...'.

In case they do ask, I've printed my e-statement out that covers the period in which I bought the ticket. Additionally, I've included the letters relating to the new card.

Is there anything else I should bring/do to ensure the lost card isn't a problem?

When I've been in this kind of position in the past they wanted actual bank headed paper i.e. the actual statement from the bank (which my bank was kind of difficult about providing :| ) rather than a print out on generic A4.

You might be able to get the bank/provider to provide some kind of paperwork to prove the replacement of the card though.

If you have 2 forms of id (one photo based) and a bill under the same name and address as the missing card that should be enough aslong as the replacement card is under the same name and account number.

That's the thing really, I fly out tomorrow and didn't think about the whole lost card thing until tonight when I was looking over everything for the final time.

I have two forms of ID though my bills are all electronic as well, in fact, I can't remember the last time I received a paper bill. I do have two letters with my address on relating to the new card which are from the bank itself but they don't explicitly state my previous card was lost, just information relating to the new card (ie, instructions on how to use).

Fingers crossed they won't ask for it (as the lady I spoke to said it's unlikely they would) and if they do, I hope what I do have will suffice.
