No, no, a Ryanair customer service manager will come out, apologise to you for the inconvenience and offer you a free drink voucher. Then you'll hear a "flap, flap, oink, oink" sound over your head...
Jack, Jack, what do you
think will happen? (Little teeny clue: this is
Ryanair we're talking about here...)
Will this now mean the max number of pre boarders will be increased, will there be no limit? I can just see the morning Dublin flights where it is pretty much all hand luggage only. Everyone has priorty boarding. LOL.
No LOL needed - this is what will happen. And I'll bet you that some point in the future, when e.g. 75% of passengers are checking in online (i.e. when enough of the lumpenSLF have been educated to avoid the check-in desks), Ryanair will redefine web check-in so that it no longer includes "priority boarding", and will introduce a new charge of £2 or whatever for said priority boarding. Wait and see...
