Re: Check-in Desk Scales?

Full Emergency
otherwise I would have refused to fly in protest.
And then RyanAir would smile and say that of course you are entitled not to fly and thereby forfeit the payment for the flight. When people say of a company "Oh, they don't care." Bear in mind that FR really don't care!

If set up and managed properly, it could work and it wouldn't be breaking any laws as the baggage would not actually be pooled with any specific person, it would just be taken off the running total of the flight
I think that Silverelise states clearly why it is unworkable. The admin load would be horrendous. Secondly, you would get many pax stating that this was not 'possible to arrange at check-in' as the web site states but a 'guarantee' of luggage to be carried! As you may have noticed, the IQ factor of today's pax would rule this out!!
