A Turkey holiday warning has been issued for British tourists from Jet2, Ryanair and easyJet. Brit holidaymakers and tourists have been warned they won't be able to use a mobile boarding pass at Turkish airports by several of the UK's major airlines.

Easyjet said: “You will need to print your boarding pass and go to Bag Drop for a document check, even if you don’t have bags to drop off.” Jet2 said: “We can’t offer online check-in for flights departing from Turkey.

"You can still complete the process and get your pre-allocated seats, but you’ll need to visit our airport check-in decks to collect your boarding pass before you go to security.” easyJet Turkey destinations include Antalya, Bodrum and Dalaman as well as Istanbul.

Izmir is another popular destination. Ryanair Turkey destinations include Bodrum and Dalaman. Jet2 Turkey destinations range from Antalya and Bodrum to Dalaman and also Izmir, too, according to the Birmingham Airport airline's website.

Ryanair added: "We accept mobile boarding passes on flights from the majority of airports on our network. However unfortunately some airports cannot accept mobile boarding passes yet, these airports are: Turkey and Morocco. Also the following airport does not accept mobile boarding passes: Tirana.

"Customers traveling from these airports must check in online and print out a paper boarding pass for their flight(s)." Promoting its mobile passes, Easyjet said: "Traveling with mobile boarding passes allows you to keep all of your trip information in one convenient and secure location.

"You can also reduce paper waste by avoiding unecessarly print outs. All you have to do is check in on the app and download your boarding pass on your iPhone or Android phone. You can save up to eight boarding cards per flight, per device, which will be available offline if you don't have a data connection.

"Plus, you can store any downloaded boarding passes in the iOS Wallet app and Google Pay on Android, giving you even more convenience. For Android, all you need to do is make sure that Google Pay is already installed on your phone."
