IB4238:
Doesn't the Barcelona Court ruling and the Andalucia Governments ruling on not being able to charge for boarding passes also apply to Jet2, as well as Ryanair?
Good one! But JET2 offer a check-in on line or a check-in at the airport service at different prices. The issue of the boarding pass is FREE or isn't mentioned and therefore may be assumed to be free, as there is no charge advertised.
FR on the other hand charge you for printing your own boarding pass and hammer you for printing it for you at the airport. According to the Spanish judge in Barcelona airtickets and boarding passes should be issued free of charge by any airline for their passengers or any other documentation needed to embark.
There is no mention in the judgement that check-in services have to be provided free of charge by any airline to their passengers BUT it would be a good idea to get a good look at the Laws being referred to by the Barcelona judge, International, Spanish and European to see what services a passenger is entitled to have free of charge once having paid a fare for a flight to an airline.
