Ryanair gets halted (for the moment)
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
For example, in the USA, you can rock on up to a machine and get a new one printed. In other countries, a human usually has to issue you with a new one.
Not so easy with Ryanair who has decided you must print your own pass at home. Forget to do so and Ryanair make you pay for a new one. Remember this is Ryanair, the airline that charges for everything they can. The same Ryanair I put as the sixth worst airline in 2010.
So how much would you expect for them to print you a Boarding Pass? 5 eruo ($US7ish £4.25) ? 10 euro?
TRY 40 Euro (almost $USD55 or £34!!!!). In some cases this may be more than the fare!
A Spanish judge Barbara Maria Cordoba has thwarted this in Spain saying saying: "The normal practice over the years has been that the obligation to issue the boarding card has always fallen on the carrier. I declare unfair and therefore void the contractual clause in which Ryanair obliges the passenger to be the one who brings the printed boarding pass to travel or face a penalty of €40."
First round to the public....stay tuned for Ryanair next play.
