Printing your own boarding pass

[Shogun]

Hi All

 

If folks think printing your own boarding pass or bag tags is a pain just be glad you are with Princess and not Ryanair,

 

who just charged a passenger £236 to print them for them, you see you can not print out with 14 days but passenger was away longer than this so downloaded them to her phone, as they had no access to a printer while on holiday, they were told not acceptable, need a paper copy

 

that small print can be costly

Now there is some profit margin!:eek:

That sure is a rip off.

I don't know how they came up with £236. Ryanair's fee schedule shows a fee of £60, which itself is exorbitant. See the attached chart from the Ryanair site.

Really, that's what you get for goig for the cheapest fare if you don't carefully find out what the potential extra costs are.

Full story is on BBC, but she was charged in Euros she had family with her.

Yep. This is what happens when you go for the cheapest fare and don't factor in the extra costs. It can make a "cheap" fare more expensive than an "expensive" fare.

It was 5 Bps at 60 euro each, which = 300 euro, or 236 pounds.

And she obviously knew she had to print them during that time frame, because she went to the effort to download them to her phone then. Did she really think Ryan Air would accept an "electronic" boarding pass? Bottom line: she should have found a way to print them while on vacation. An internet cafe, a hotel concierge, a library... surely there was somewhere she could have gone!

They've been thinking/talking about it but not yet.

No airline does that. They keep talking about it but it's more a way of free advertising than reality. It gets people talking about the company and spreading its name for free.
