EU Digital Passenger Locator Form (dPLF)

This is a form that all visitors to EU countries had to fill out previously. However, most countries have stopped requiring this form, except for Malta, Slovenia, and France. Since we are visiting Italy and Paris on our trip, we need to fill out this form.

I started filling out this form on my iPhone using Chrome browser. Since we are stopping in Italy first, I did not know what the form wanted for origin. Italy? United States? United Kingdom (London transit)? Finally, I decided to enter all our flights, including the return flights.

The form asks for a lot of information, including flight and seat numbers. After each flight is entered, you get options to enter the next flight and [Temporary Save]. I did hit save after the first flight but skipped that step going forward. Of course, the webpage decides to crash and freeze on the fourth flight data entry, so I went over to my MacBook to continue. The app did save something, but it was missing random fields for the first flight, and all subsequent flights.

Ugh.

==========

Done. Luckily I could add family members traveling together so my sister’s family do not need to fill out this ugly form.

Also, whenever you see an option to temporary save on a webform, click it. It is like a save point before you encounter a boss monster in a game. You need to save because you will fail and need to return to your save point.
