About time too.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

  • I wonder if those who have been charged this fee in the past can retrospectively claim back what was effectively an illegal charge?

    This decision is only from a court of first instance, so means very little. It will be interesting to see how the case develops.
    Gone ... or have I?

    I dont see how this is 1 for the passengers stoneman
    Surely a simple process like print your own boarding cards to access a cheap fare is 1 for the passengers.
    Selfish, lazy people like this Spanish Lawyer,Dan Miro Garcia want a cheap fare but then demand full service benefits. Assuming he wins his case, Ryanair who now fly nearly 80 million passengers- at say £2 per boarding pass including labour - do the maths- are just going to pass these costs on to us- THE PASSENGERS
  • Just the Daily Mail to stand up to the defence of complete half-wits.

    You check in online, you print your boarding pass, you bring it to the airport.

    Anybody who struggles with that concept should be charged £30 just for leaving their house.

    !!!!!!, so having an airline print a boarding pass for you is considered a "full service" benefit. Trust the RA crew of tightward on here to try an apologize for this ripoff

    Given a choice of printing the BP myself or paying to have someone do it for me, whether that be an upfront cost or a hidden cost in the ticket price, I would go for the former. This is the same as with all other low cost airline charges - why should those of us capable of organising ourselves be penalised for the few incapable?

    I'd rather pay €5 and print my own boarding pass than pay €7 and have to queue up for an airport issued one.

    Just returned from a trip with short haul flights on Air Asia, it was great not to have to bother with printing our own BPs.
