Ryanair to abolish 'Check In' desks
Ryanair is to phase out 'Check In' desks. They already charge for checking in baggage and aim to have only one in five passengers checking in hold luggage in the future.According to Ryanair 75% of passengers Check In online already. I must say that has not been my experience at airports of late, but they must know.
The aim of the airline is to reduce the cost of the flight by trimming costs to the bone, while charging for everything from paying by card (even though there is no cost free option), hold baggage, in flight meals, prize draws and just announced in flight mobile phone calls and text messaging.
Back after 2 years
Over the last 2 years I have also been considering the environmental effects of travel and as such will be downgrading the prominence of air travel. That said, budget airlines such as Ryanair emit less CO2 per passenger mile than some of the older operators who operate with considerably lower load factors.
