Ryanair's new 7-day check-in rules

If £50 is enough to topple a travel budget then they shouldn't be going on holiday in the first place.

I agree.
In the great scheme of things holiday-wise £50 is a drop in the ocean and I guarantee those complaining about it would have saved far more than that travelling by Ryanair in the first place.
I'm also at a loss to understand how people are confident enough to book their flights and acccomodation independently but lack the wherewithal to organise their return check-in and printing of boarding passes.
Unless they're too busy getting !!!!ed in the hotel bar on the €50 they saved in the first place.
There are 82.5 million reasons why Michael O'Leary can safely dismiss these begrudgers as serial moaners.

To all those who claim that last minute printing when abroad is an easy matter, why try defending Ryanair? Thanks OP for the heads-up, as as usual I will try to use Easyjet in preference even if the fares are slightly higher.

Does JPSARTRE work for Ryanair ? The point most of us are making is this !!!!es people off. I paid just over £36 return for a flight to Spain. Despite paying by debit card and taking only hand luggage that increased to nearly £40 when I came to pay.Now they want another £5 for an allocated seat I neither want or need.This is the equivalent of an additional 25% added onto the headline fare.I will still fly Ryanair as I am prepared to jump through a few hoops to save money, but that doesn't mean I have to like it !

Of course, I'm at Ryanair headquarters right now having a good laugh with O'Leary about the poor saps who have their holidays ruined because they have to pay for seat selection

You're paying £45 for a return flight to Spain and you're STILL complaining ?

You've missed the point. It's not about how cheap the headline fare is, but how easily it can be compared with other airlines. For example, if another airline's headline fare (including all extras) was £39, then he might have booked with that one instead, but Ryanair gave a misleading indication of the likely total fare, causing him to make an transactional decision that he might have made differently.

Not everyone stays in a hotel in a tourist resort though.

When I go to Italy in July for 10 days (thankfully not with Ryan Air) I can tell you 100% there is nowhere that I would be able to print off a boarding card without taking a day out of my holiday to travel to the nearest city that has an internet cafe type place that I don't particularly have any interest in visiting, or schlepping a printer on holiday, which isn't going to happen because then I'd have to take less shoes. It's not only about the money.

If you travel in a place where you can't print, you pay the fee. If it's not about the money, that won't be a problem. Such an amazingly simple solution to the problem, but again, people like to complain.

Why do you need all these shoes in such a remote place with no internet cafe? No one wiill see them
