Now that Ryanair is charging £8 (return) for UK originating passengers who check in online and want priority boarding, I thought about conducting a survey through PPRuNe amongst those who use Ryanair's OLCI: are you paying the extra and what are your views on the value-for-money represented by the £8 charge?
P.S. Have you noticed the way in which priority is sold on the Website? When flights have been selected, passengers are asked
Would you like to be one of the first passengers to board the aircraft? Yes, I would, but I can't see how priority boarding guarantees that, especially on some flights, say between the UK and Dublin and Belfast, where, in my experience, a very high proportion of passengers have been in the priority queue. Perhaps it should be re-worded: something like
Would you like to avoid being amongst the last passengers to board? might be more appropriate (and accurate)
