Not particularly keen on the man myself but he has revolutionised air travel. Before Ryanair, I had never been on a plane. Now I travel to see my family at least three times a year. Will have my 2nd ever 'proper' holiday this year due to RyanAir.

I am not saying I agree with everything in any way but they have made a difference. I still dont understand why we pay so much for credit card charges -- €5 per person per sector. 5 people on a return booking is €50 on credit card charges. We have a Ryanair credit card and still have to pay it!

There are already facilities for some airlins to book in and print your own boarding pass at the airport, we did it this time with Iberia air.

What I understood from the news is... that you have to book in on the computer, and if you go to the airport to book in it will cost you £40.
I may have it wrong I am often wrong.
But I dislike that man so much, he is NOT doing his passengers a favour, he is entering into a business arrangement with them.
How much is he going to take away from what was once considered a 'good' airline?

I don't even know what I am bothered about, I don't go anywhere anyway. ;-0(

I dont see what the issue is with charging people who forget their booking in card. .... It was said today that its as essential as your passport and you wouldnt forget that! They say that there will be facilities at airports to print your boarding cards there (dont know how this will work out) up until 40mins before your flight..... Well you have to book in by that time anyway!

I have to say I dont agree with the £5 charge to book in and print your own boarding card thats charging you/me to do their job!!
