Online check in
I may have missed it, but no-one seems to have mentioned that Ryanair now allows online check-in up to five days in advance, instead of the former two. This is, I think, good news.
However, I thought that it would allow me to check in online for a return flight for which I had paid a 3 euro airport check in fee but I was mistaken. Does anyone know why, if you've paid the airport check in fee, you can't check in online?
(I also agree that it is much more difficult to find the lowest fares. I'm inclined to think that this is intentional; I seem to remember that the same thing happened when BA made changes to ba.com.)
