You can check in to all flights 15 days before departure. If you are staying one week and go back on the 8th of September you can check in the return flight from the 24th of August...

However, if you're staying away longer than 14 days, you'll have to arrange to check-in from your holiday destination, and print out the boarding 'cards' there...an internet cafe? or sometimes hotels have the facility - for a fee, of course!

I used an Internet cafe in Fuengirola.
50 cents for half an hour. Beats paying £40 at the Airport.

Knock airport is currently charging passengers 10 euros per person before they are allowed into the departure lounge. This is classed as a development fee and they ahve a notice up saying they have requested all airlines to inform passengers before booking their flights. I am positive I was not infomed and I travelled yesterday. I have just been on their site and RYANAIR are not infomring passengers!!
Is this not illegal??
They charge for the service (flight)
They charge to use the service (check in)
They charge to pay for the service (CC)
Now we are being charged to get to the service!!

I encountered a similar problem when I purchased a flight from Norwich to Edinburgh. It appears that Norwich 'International' Airport also uses this development fee system which is completely crazy if you ask me. No notice of this on Flybe as I purchased the flights however!!!

Quick question: if I check-in on-line and then don't use the flight, are there any repercussions?

It's likely that one of our group will not use the return flight, but we can't know that until a day or two before it.

Hi.

I new at this forum, actually i register just to post this question .
I'm planning to visit Dublin in September via Venice-Treviso with Ryanair which seems to be the cheapest.

But i have one question. Some flights have "no taxes" and others have "regular Fare" so my question is.
What is the difference, and what if i book "no taxes" flight, will i bee shocked when i check in and they give me the "check" for taxes that is 10x the amount of my ticket price?

Thank you for all your help in advance

No, no surprises, your flight is fully paid for.

I don't know if anyone has noticed what, for me, is a new trick from Ryanair? Living in France the Ryanair website shows prices in euros but I pay with a Nationwide credit card. In the past the exchange rate seemed to have been done by the bank. Now Ryanair is making the exchange prior to putting it on the card. This seems to mean an extra 8 - 10 % on the cost .eg Ryanair charged 1.06 euros and my card on the same day was charging at 1.13 euros.
On the other hand, I paid 61.98 euros for a seat the other day which came out as £54.43 not the £61.98 on the sterling version of the site.
Our daughter in law is coming out with our granddaughter soon and the charges for the baby (7 months) were £20 each way just to put a baby on one's lap!

Why do we have to feel like criminals every time we fly?
Have I broken the Ryanair laws of travel?
Will I be punished with hefty fines?
I'm an ordinary traveller and fly by air once or twice a year. Some business travel, some personal travel, some with family, some on my own. But I dread the experience of getting to the airport and ensuring I have my passport, money, and most importantly the correct Ryanair friendly baggage!!
I fly to Valencia a lot and only have the choice of EasyJet or Ryanair.
EasyJet everytime, if possible.
Why the post? Are there any campaigns out there to make Ryanair listen or to get these routes open to customer friendly airlines?
