As some of you are aware, I’m going to be doing something I haven’t done since 2005 – and that’s willingly fly on a Ryanair service.
In the email pile I did get a lovely warning from them… about their own fees.
In the first part of the email, they remind you if you’ve checked in… or not.
Now onto the meat of it – where the charges can stack up!
So if you can’t be bothered to make a few clicks to check in, you’ll be facing a bit of £70/€70. If you forget your boarding pass, it’s £15/€15.
Then we move onto the part about travel documents required. Or to you and me… a Passport or Identity Card (along with document check notices for non EU/EEA passengers).
Now, in the past – it used to be a printout of your boarding pass. However – to my surprise – Ryanair’s app also supports Apple Passbook, so it can generate a boarding pass for your phone.
I was in shock too. And yes, I’ve redacted most of the information out of it 😉
So, this is all actually amicable at the moment isn’t it? Plenty of warnings (along with opportunities to buy up in the app too – lets not forget that). But what is it like… apart from yellow on the inside?
Find out soon 😉

I did a lot of ryanair travel back in 2009-2010 and I kinda miss it, 5 euros from porto to madrid with taxes included and 15 euros from billund to madrid

I’m not moaning in this case… my fare has set me back the expensive total of £9.99…. 😉

I wouldn’t fly this bloody airline if you actually paid me to do it. It’s all about them. Me Me Me. Hideous airline full of bogans anyway. Why put yourself through this torture. Travel is about enjoying the experience. I would not put up with them, so I don’t ha ha.
