In an era of extra airline fees, Ryanair leads the way in sheer number and originality. But one of those fees seems to have gone too far.
If you fly Ryanair, you are required to print your boarding pass before you get to the airport. If you wait, it will cost you an additional 40 Euros or Pounds depending on which country you are in.
But a Spanish judge has ruled this is illegal as it is the job of the airline to issue boarding passes and should not be left only to the passengers.
Ryanair said they will appeal. If they should lose, they’ll still require people to print their boarding passes at home. If they arrive at the airport without one, they don’t fly.
