    Ryan air long ago joined the list of companies I won't have anything to do with because their attitude stinks. Vote with your wallets - it's the only language they understand.

    Perhaps so maybird . but many of us can't vote with "our wallets "

    Ryanair offer amazing flight deals and I always take advantage .

    I know it's not much comfort Kenny, but your story is not an unfamiliar one. As they seem to be ignoring your communications, it might be worth talking to your credit card company and/or the Civil Aviation Authority.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    I've seen this a couple of times with bad print-outs, if 3 wouldn't scan they must have been bad! you just pop back to the Desk and they'll print new ones (at no charge), unless of course you arrive at the very last minute.

    Why didn't you re-print your return boarding cards whilst you were away?

    I always print out an extra copy of the boarding 'card' anyway.

    Most people don't bring their PCs and printers on holiday with them, let alone a working internet connection. The ethernet cable hasn't been made yet that would stretch the two thousand miles needed to reach a hotel in Lanarca.

    For example

    Internet Cafe

    Address: Lordou Vironos no.54, 6030 Larnaca

    I wonder how much they charge for something that can be done at home for free. On top of which, I can't transfer my Windows Mail server to an internet cafe on Cyprus and if it is possible I would suspect that most people wouldn't know how. Add that to lost time of ones holiday, I'd say RyanUnfair have a lot to answer for.

    Do they not have computers in "Lanarca"?

    I have no idea, I've never been there.

    All you need to do is log on to the Ryanair website, why would you need your server to do that?

    The most I have known a hotel to charge for an boarding card print out is £3. Most will do it for free.
