LONDON - Ryanair is scrapping its airport desks in favour of online check-in desks and is charging customers an extra £5 for the service.

Ryanair introduces compulsory £5 charge for online check-in

All flights booked after 20 May will be online check-in only. The airline announced in March that it would get rid of airport check-in desks.

Passengers must also print their own boarding pass. If they fail to do so, they will be charged £40 once they reach the airport. The airline has said turning up without a boarding pass is like ‘turning up without your passport'.

The no-frills airline has already detered passengers from travelling with checked luggage by adding baggage charges.

Under the new rules, a passenger travelling with three bags will now pay up to £120 in baggage charges on a return flight.

The checked baggage weight limit will remain the same at 15kg per person.

Ryanair has also announced today that it will not accept bookings for unaccompanied minors from 20 May.
