Hand-written boarding passes are being issued in place of electronic ones, leaving customers frustrated at long queues at airports.

In a tweet this morning, the airline said it was checking-in passengers as usual from Heathrow and Gatwick, but customers are being encouraged to check-in online to avoid delays.
