As you paid by cash, surely this will be all any airline would need - the fact you were there and paid in person - and presumably showed identification.

This though is obviously vitally important, so best to perhaps give them a call, get the person you speak to's name and confirm once again she will have no problems at boarding
David also had to go to Manchester Airport to verify his debit card. Once done, I didn't have any issues with checking in.
