I've just tried to check in for a Ryanair flight departing next Wednesday 16 April and returning 25 April. Check in for outward journey is fine as it's under 7 days to travel, however it won't allow me to check in for the return journey as it's more than 7 days away. I know I can check in between 30 and 8 days prior but that means that I have to pay for allocated seating - anybody know of a way around this? Of course, I could just check in over there at an internet cafe but I prefer to have all this stuff done before I go.
