having just checked in for my flight tomorrow morning to Paris (and getting up early too) i clicked the link to check in as soon as OLCI opened and still i get SEQ025 :(
i know that the flight is full but 25 people beat me to it in 2 mins :0 :(

oh well maybe get SEQ1 on the return trip.

Trip Report (as promised in a previous thread with pictures if my iPhone battery lasts) will be posted on my return

That's a pretty bad show for 2 minutes in! Any chance OLCI sneaking opened earlier than posted?

Have a great trip! Good luck in getting SEQ1 for the return!

i had to refresh the page at 07:24 as OLCI wasn't open on my first attempt(s) so i know that i was near the front of the line at 07:25.

Most likely you have 25 PAX connecting off US flights.

I agree with McMaddog - looks like there are connecting pax who would have already been checked in earlier than -24

Aer Lingus, whose normal OLCI opens 30 hours beforehand, also allow advance check-in 30 days up to 30 hours befoe OLCI. I tried to use it but you have to have selected and paid for seats. However it looks like my days of trying to score SEQ1 on EI are numbered :(!

Now that I am in a location with wifi.
The flight on the way out was crammed only 5 or so empty seats and most of the pax were American or Canadian.
I am now waiting for olci for my return tomorrow night.

Well that was better but still missed out SEQ002 for the return flight. Better luckon my next trip - whenever that may be.

I failed miserably too - I was trying to do OLCI for about 5 mins before it was due to open. I just kept on trying until it did open - but then only got seq 7 & 8!

It's just the order that you are checked in. Seq1 means your are the first pax to check-in for that particular flight.

I can tell from your posts that you type slowly. That is probably the cause.
