Ryanair: Out of Boarder

"Ryanair passengers will soon be hammered with a EUR100 penalty fee if they don't print out their boarding cards, it was revealed yesterday. In an effort to reduce costs Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary plans to introduce the new charge to stop travellers turning up at check-in desks without boarding passes. All passengers are required to check in for Ryanair flights online and print their passes before arriving at the airport. Failure to do so at present results in a EUR40 penalty but this is set to increase to EUR100 in the near future. The Consumer Association of Ireland described the move as "outrageous". Chief executive Dermott Jewell said: "This is simply outrageous. This is not a consumer cost that can be avoided."
