I know this is already being discussed deep in the Ryanair forum, but for the benefit of those who can't find it (search didn't bring it up just now), and generally for SLF discussion:
BBC NEWS | Business | Ryanair to abolish check-in desks
What do people think? Is it going to affect you, or are you not really bothered? I don't travel with Ryanair, but it wouldn't really affect me as I'd always check in online. However it does seem to me that there's no allowance made for those who have trouble checking in online, or for those who can't check in online for whatever reason.
There's also no mention of kiosks at the airport - I might be wrong, but I thought Ryanair had self check-in desks?
