Not sure if this is in the correct forum but couldn't see anywhere better for it.
I've just booked some flights for next season so will have to use the self check-in machines at GVA, no problem with that: used them twice now and think they're quite good. However, the card I used to majke the bookings expires before the date of travel, will I still be able to use it to check in or do I need to take something else like the booking reference instead? It would be easier to carry the card around rather than printing (and loosing) the confirmation email but I don't partculary want to get stranded in GVA if it doesn't work!
Cheers.

Swirly, Booking reference is required if you do not have the original card for the self check machines.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Swirly, card should be ok, it just links the booking to the checkin to make sure you have not been doppleganged

Frosty the Snowman, you don't actually need the booking ref either if you know your own name and address

Another small tip regarding the Geneva self-check in machines: it prints off your luggage labels which you are supposed to put on your luggage to be checked in. In this system, you don't seem to get a receipt of your luggage label tag the way you would when checking in manually, when the Easyjet staff normally stick the label tag on the back of your boarding card.
When flying back from Genava recently after some Zermatt summer skiing, our luggage got lost. To reclaim it and to make a travel insurance claim, it turns out we needed the luggage tag numbers. Luckily, our bags arrived the next day, but I dread to think the loops our insurance might have us jump through to prove that we actually checked this luggage in....
In other words, when flying from Geneva, I will be making a note of the luggage tag number from now on, for eventualities like the above!

skibomb, isn't there a little tag for this at the end of the printed out luggage tag that you take off and keep?

Frosty the Snowman, luckily easy don't have the same urge to humiliate snowmen. There's an option on the machine to enter your name and postcode and it finds the booking and lets you check in. I used it a couple of weeks ago when I found I hadn't brought my expired credit card and couldn't be bothered digging through bags looking for the bit of paper with the booking ref.

FenlandSkier, Maybe there is - I never noticed. Certainly will be keeping an eye on it in the future

I prefer the self check-in desks myself but for some reason they've taken them out of East Midlands.

You know it makes sense.

Oh I had a problem like this with Eurostar last season - Whitenoise lost a ticket I'd bought for him on my card but not only had my card expired and been replaced but the replacement was itself suspended as a result of fraudulent activity on it!
I was most nervous turning up at Waterloo to sort it out - fortunately the lady at the counter was somewhat coquettish and surprisingly susceptible to Whitnoise's charms: she issued a replacement in the flutter of an eyelash.

skibomb, useful point, thanks. It had never occurred to me to make a note of the numbers or think about tear-off bits.
