Default Flying to Faro from UK - Pass Locator Form on Planes ?

Current intention is to fly to Faro with Ryanair from UK on Friday.

Ryanair provide link to Passenger Locator Form which Portuguese Govt. require to be filled in.

However the document appears to be read only so I cannot fill it in now.

Does anyone have recent experience of arrival at airports ? Can the Form be filled in on arrival without problems ?

There does not appear to be any computer link to send it direct to the Portuguese authorities prior to travel.

Jus' wondrin'

We arrived Lisbon with Air France a few days ago, the crew handed out the forms on the aircraft, strangely on arrival at Lisbon we did not go through any sort of border control check ie no one checked passports or anything else for that matter.

It's the first time ever for me unless it was an internal flight.

So did anyone collect the Locator Forms after you had filled them in ?

When we flew with Ryan Air a month ago, we had to print off the forms and fill them in manually. No one checked the forms on the aircraft or when we got to the airport. This however may be different when you get there.

May be the first time ever your departure and arrival airports were both within the Schengen Zone?

Nothing strange about it - that is the norm under those circumstances. Open (internal) borders at work in airports, just as they would be if you journeyed across borders by road or rail .

So did anyone check them at the Ryanair desk / boarding ?

I am wondering if Ryanair will do their thing of charging whatever for not having the form on you.

There does not seem to be an option to upload this info online.

Wizz same last week (from Italy though). Get covid SEF form in English. Print out and fill in prior. Or rely on staff to hand out and collect on board.

Last week Ryanair staff collected the form on the plane. On my two previous recent visits no one ever collected the form.

Did they also hand out the form ? At check in or Boarding ??

Or did everyone have it pre printed at home ??

They had forms, I think, for those who hadn't already printed it out and filled it in.

No one checked, and no, I didn’t see any forms being handed over either.
We printed the forms off , filled them prior to going to the airport.
