Ryanair considers 150% increase in boarding card print fee
09.11.09
Ryanair is considering raising the fee it charges passengers for printing of boarding cards at airports from €40 to €100, a 150% increase, the Irish Examiner reported yesterday.
All passengers are required to check in for Ryanair flights online and print their own boarding passes at home or in the office prior to arriving at the airport. Those passengers who forget to do so and require a reprint at the airport are currently charged €40, but Ryanair said it was considering raising this to €100.
The increase was justified by Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary on the basis that ‘only a tiny number of passengers’ arrive for a flight without a printed ticket. He said: ‘You really must now check in before you get to the airport. If you don’t, the fine is €40; and if that doesn’t get rid of them all within a very short order, we double that fine to €100. We don’t want people showing up without the pre-printed boarding card.’
