Current lowest offers – one way tax and charges included Ryanair also announced today a new online check-in and priority boarding service enhancement that will allow all passengers to enjoy online check-in / priority boarding for just £2/€3 per flight from 1st November. This service improvement will extend the option of priority boarding to all passengers and not just those travelling without checked in bags as was previously the case. Those travelling with hand luggage only will also have the option to enjoy the double benefit of bypassing airport check-in queues and priority boarding at the departure gate by checking in on line for just £2/€3 per flight. From 1st November, families with children will no longer be pre-boarded however they will have the option of online check-in and priority boarding if travelling without checked in luggage or priority boarding purchased at the airport if travelling with checked in bags. Announcing these new routes and additional service enhancements, Michael Cawley Ryanair’s deputy CEO said: “Ryanair’s continued expansion is great news for passengers who will enjoy our lowest fares to even more destinations. The arrival of Ryanair means just one thing for all passengers, whether in Dublin, Warsaw or Stockholm – lower fares, better service, more flights and a welcome saving from the high fares of Aer Lingus, LOT and SAS. “The launch of 20 low fare Ryanair routes from Dublin, starting December will enable passengers to travel to 71 destinations throughout Europe for less than half the price of Aer Lingus. There is plenty of room for all European airlines to grow from Dublin and Ryanair is growing fastest because passengers are voting with their feet in favour of the lowest fares. Regardless of whether Ryanair offer for Aer Lingus succeeds, these new routes mean that the two airlines will continue to compete vigorously with each other as well as with the 50 other high fare airlines currently serving Dublin to deliver lower fares and a better deal for consumers. “We are also pleased to extend the option of priority boarding to all passengers, including those travelling with checked in bags. This will make the airport experience much more pleasurable for all of our passengers, allowing them to go to the front of queues at departure gates and choose their preferred seats on board. From 1st November for just £2/€3 per person per flight, families, groups and friends will be able to guarantee their seats together on board. “From the same date and for the same price, passengers travelling with hand luggage only will enjoy the double benefit of bypassing check-in queues and priority boarding when they check in on-line. “Ryanair’s No. 1 customer service already delivers the lowest fares, the best punctuality and the youngest aircraft. Now, Ryanair’s passengers will also be able to enjoy a hassle free airport experience by avoiding queues at airport check-in and departure gates with our new online check-in and priority boarding service”.
