Interesting article re Ryanair's fee for non-check-in
A friend from Germany sent me a link to an article about Ryanair's airport fee when you've not checked-in in time. Alas it's in German, but Google Translate or DeepL can help.
The gist is that Ryanair can't in this case charge the passengers this fee and has to refund the payment. I think this is an EU-specific interpretation but I'm not a lawyer and so it may have repercussions for the UK.

It's a German regional court, ruling based on German civil codes and a previous case in Austria, so highly unlikely to apply more widely at this stage and definitely not outside the EU

Possibly. But at least there's hope that something like this might at some point "trickle" into the UK. Or as my German friend keeps reminding me, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt.

It's die Hoffnung that kills you!
