BRI and BDS are the most rumoured destinations to become new FR bases at the moment and it seems there is going to be the official announcement soon (bases starting from October).
At the same time MOL is negotiating with other airports as well around Italy so unexpected surprises might come up in the end.

Sorry but thats a basic control procedure with any airline as having people pay at checkin disrupts checkin and holds up the line, additionally staff accepting cash at checkin is open for abuse. Standard control procedure with most airlines to protect revenue.

It is not difficult to imagine MOL and his minions finding new ways to fleece his customers. The cheap fares they started with are no longer cheap. The added charges, or the services they have taken away, amount to quite a lump. MOL acts with impunity with little regard to the customers he is ripping off. His latest wheeze in getting people to print their own tickets and charge them £5 in the process is another example of a Ryanair rip off - so is the £40 pound charge if they forget to bring it. There can NO justification for that except that he knows people WILL forget because it is in the human psyche. If it wasn't so blatant it would be clever.
One day, the bubble will burst.
Then only accept credit card transactions at the checking desk... I reckon my eventual card transaction much have taken all of a minute to process - about the same length of time the checkin agent had to spend arguing with me about the need to join another long line in order to pay.

How can Ryanair survive charging for on line check-in at the same time as withdrawing airport check-in- surely this is one step too far?
Have passengers really been reduced to these low expectations?

Right so therefore you need a card machine at every desk and ensure that the people at the desk know how to use them, then there will be the people who can't find their cards because its in one of their pockets or rucksacks or they forget the pin or it just doesn't seem to want to work while passengers who comply with the T and Cs stand behind waiting and waiting.

ng suitcases when they discover the 15kg weight limit can't be pooled so their toddler's bag must carry more weight. Sorry, the idea that Ryanair's policy on this is to minimise the wait of passengers who "comply with the T and C's" is comical. Let's be honest here: RyanAir's policies are designed to maximise the amount of fees they can extract from passengers to balance out their supposed low fares, whilst at the same time incurring as little cost as possible themselves.
Apart from their major bases the people on the desks are contracted staff to a ground service handler who don't want the extra cost of people paying at the desk.

@pikkuprinssi. Your location is Italy, but your nick strongly suggests some connections with Finland 
.
Do you have any idea why FR while achieving very good LFs and yields on its BGY - TMP route is so reluctant to rise the amount of flights on this route and/or to start some similar routes between Italy and Finland? It does not seem very logical to me

A newspaper article suggested it would bring in 200 million for them in revenue per year.
That would suggest that 2/3 of passengers are paying normal NON promotional fares.
No chance. I reckon promotional fares are at least 2/3 of the business.
