online check-in where so much other information has to be entered (in addition to having to refuse all the other extras again). It must be a nightmare for families or groups.
It is, believe me. Additionally you have to start the check-in sessions for groups over and over again (dividing into parts of 3-4 people). The standard htpps connection ends far too soon, all the data entered lost.
Do the various European Govt immigration / border agencies requirements perhaps have anything to do with it ?
Poor Ryanair. Why they require only them to send all this information. Additionally, FR demand all this information also on flights between the Schengen countries. Who else?
