Ryanair wouldn't give me a boarding pass until I went to another desk and paid another 2 Euro!
Thanks Bacchus. Yes it was actually 2 sterling. I thought it was just something that they 'forgot', but from looking at the T&Cs it seems that they will charge it to everybody who isn't a priority booking (am I reading it correctly?). It seems an awful lot of hard work for just a few quid. Why don't they just charge it online when I book?Yes, it is in their .
You actually should have been charged €3 (or £2 which is may be what you meant).
Because you could subsequently to making the booking choose priority boarding perhaps?Why don't they just charge it online when I book?
Ryanair said:Any passenger failing to present their printed Check N'Go boarding pass at airport security and the departure gate will be charged a airport check-in fee currently at the rate of £2/€3 per person (or local currency equivalent). This is only available if airport check-in is still open.
Will be going to Fuerteventura mid Nov have hand luggage only and online check in, just realised now I might not have access to printer for boarding cards on way back and will miss out on duty free except at airport.
If i do not have boarding card do I pay at airport to get it?
If I then decide to check in a bag do I miss priority boarding.
Em, 25kgs?? since when? Their site still says 15.. Hope I'm not bursting a bubble here..
Seems reasonable enough to me. Do you think it's not?Also, they are now very sticky on hand luggage weight. They are actually weighing your hand luggage on the belt before you get your boarding pass. Be warned.
They do not charge everybody. They charge whoever do not bring their printed boarding pass, and avail of web-checking when booking tickets.
What is your case?
Bacchus, I printed out my confirmation and brought it with me. I didn't avail of web checking because, as I remember, it involved (another) extra cost. They get you every which way!!
I know this is thread creep a bit but putsch raises an interesting point. I had the same problem in Stansed last week re 10kg bag at security.
The story is hand baggage weight is an airlne thing. They vary so much from airline to airline, from 6-10kg mostly. Obviously Ryanair want you to bring hand baggage only as do most of the other low cost airlines. This is done to minimize hassle for the airlines and no technical reason. For example easyjet will let you bring any weight "as long as you can lift it into the stowage areas yourself". Although flying extra weight around does cost the airlines extra fuel it is pretty minimal on short trips.
So to Stansted where they weigh the bags at security. As far as I can see they have no right to do this, see [broken link removed]
It looks to me like they are doing Ryanairs dirty work (remember easy from the same airport is unlimited) For the record they NEVER weight bags at security at LGW or LHR.
As far as I'm concerned it's just another reason to avoid Stansted.
