Sometimes when time and staffing levels were at a premium we would open up a flight on the system and check the passengers in via the computer. FR do not pay for this service but sometimes we would use it, FR found out, and put a stop to it
Funnily enough, I used to work for a handling agent that decided to impliment their DCS on the Ryanair product simply because they were so fed up with all the errors caused by manual check-in.
It was all going really well until one day MOL checked in for a flight to Dublin and happened to notice that his boarding card was handed to him from a printer. I've never seen a man go so Red and use such foul language! Needless to say, we were back to pen and paper within the hour!
Bit of a thread creep, but does anyone know how Ryanair are handling the new requirements for APIS data on flights departing the UK and IRE for Spain?
