They did an e-passport check at the boarding gate every time I took a flight in the last 10 years at least, in Europe.

- aenis 2y agoDepends on the country, airport, airline. Horrible airlines like ryanair and wizzair id check because they monetize typos (made a typo? Real risk of refused boarding, and changing the name costs money). I usually fly KLM/AF and I get id checked on less than 5% of the flights I take within the Schengen zone.
- closewith 2y agoRyanair's passport policy predates Schengen and is largely driven by Ireland's aviation rules on pax ID, not any Revenue-driven measure.
