From a certain independent Irish newspaper.
"We're telling airports that we want to use as few of their facilities as is humanly possible…We're in the final stages of doing a deal with a kiosk provider and we're pretty confident that in the next few years you won't have Ryanair check-in desks at all, you'll just have kiosks,"
"Mr O'Leary stressed that kiosks -- automated ticket check-ins -- would carry the same price as staffed desks (€3), while online it would continue to be free."
STN and DUB will be the test airports. However, “Those cost savings in Dubiln, however, could be lower than anticipated as sources at the airport confirmed a "commercial charge" for kiosks will soon be introduced.”
Ryanair’s version of the kiosks will “include functions like hotel booking and car hire booking.”
