Maybe it is because as we get older more and more companies * seem * to try harder and harder to pull the wool over our eyes, at least that is what it feels like

Only an airline run by uncle Mick could have this on its news page.

Well lets get cracking girls and boys.

DON'T mention your age to them,that's the next extra surcharge paying per year P.A.Y.GROW OLD

You're right phase two does say passengers will pay £5 for online check in - but only because there remains the option of desk check in.

Once phase three kicks in (no check in desks at all ) either the web check in charge will be dropped or it will have to be incorporated into the headline price. As the spokesman said on my previous link it is pricing for discretionary items.

If it is a universal charge it is not discretionary and has to be included in the headline price on the first quote page. Just like when you get a ryanair quote for a particular flight it gives you fare + taxes + fees = total cost.

They are doing this so in october (phase three) they can press release "no charges for online check in. Ryanair reduces prices once again."

Thanks, thought I was seeing things (not that old really)

Oops, sorry!

I've just seen that the £5 web check in charge does not apply to "promotional fares"

Damn, that means it is discretionary because you could choose a promotional fare.

So that's that - another ryanair extra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know what will happen to the self service check in machines currently being used at Stansted?

I think they'll continue.

Thank goodness for that.

ebay

are ryan air really charging you a pound to go to the toilet?????????

and its a fiver if you need toilet paper, but they only tell you that once you are 'sitting down'..

They will be worth about the same soon,so might as well use your own money.

Not Yet but they are threatening ,but if you or anyone else can come up with a better idea to make money for extras for them they might hold off for another while .

Im sorry lets not have yet another thread on this
I'm going to merge it with the other when I find it
