Ryanair

see they at it again unless you pay for your allocated seat you cannot print your return boarding passes until 7 days b4 travel so if you going for more than 7 days or you travelling early in morning so cannot get to a library and dont have your own printer you will have to find somewhere while you are on holiday to print them , god help the people who go to visit very quiet places that dont have internet cafes . money maker again , and yes i know ppl will say well dont travel with them but when they are £65 cheaper than other airlines it makes a difference

BA is 24 hours before, not even 7 days.

tazman, I'm sure this topic came up on a thread a couple of weeks aho, and there is a way round it. I can't see the Q in related threads but I am sure I saw something about this recently.

Virgin is 24 hours too, but there is a facility to print off your boarding cards at the airport (we were lucky, the person checking our bags in did it for us).

[tezmand]

i just dont know why when you are printing your outbound passes why they cannot let you print your inbound same time

[boxtops]

I don't know either - we can always do both on easyJet, we just take both sets with us when we leave the UK.

Well they are obviously not £65 cheaper in the circumstances you describe, tezmand. Mr O'Leary Has treated his customers with utter contempt in the past and has only recently realised that to do so leaves him vulnerable to lose business to carriers such as SquEasyJet. It seems he still cannot resist devious ways of ripping his customers off (i.e. still treating them with contempt). There is no earthly reason why you should not be able to check in online for both journeys far enough in advance so that you can do so from home. Other than to force you into allocated seating charges, that is. EasyJet allows this without making it necessary for passengers to pay for allocated seating.

You pays your money and takes your choice.

Ryanair are not as strict as they used to be.

I made a typo when I booked with them. They changed it FOC. After I printed it off I spilt a drink on it and smudged the scanning code. They wrote me one out FOC.

They should catch up with the rest of the world and allow mobile boarding passes and then it wouldn`t be a problem. That doesn`t bring in the pennies though...

[tezmand]

new judge i know ya pay ya money and get wat ya pay for and yes they were £65 cheaper than other airlines so even if i pay the £5 allocated seating i still end up £60 better off , i travel 5 times a year with ryanair never had a late flight or cancellation so i cannot complain about the flights i was just making conversation as to why we cannot print passes for both journeys , i can see its a money maker for them but as they continue to be cheaper than others i will travel with them,

no delays tezmand, aren´t you lucky, we recently flew with ryanair from madrid to london stansted , not only was there a 2 hour delay, we couldn´t even land for about 25 minutes on approaching stansted, due to debris on the runway!!
this then had a knock on effect cuz we had rush across london to euston to get a train to brum, which we did with the skin of our teeth, 2 mins to spare in fact.
