Passengers flying on Sunday should also consider printing boarding passes before 4pm on Friday, in case work on Ryanair's website overruns. You can check in now for flights this weekend.
That is piss-poor, but then again we all know the Ryanair website is going down, we're all talking about it and as always Ryanair is loving the free publicity.
I think there's a secondary problem here which could be much worse for anyone caught out:
People going out on holiday and then back a week later might not be likely to change their travel plans, but other travellers might want to make changes. Even though changes incur hefty fees, they can still be done up until the day of travel. By getting people to check-in online earlier, they are then voiding any opportunity to change travel plans at the last minute.
