I think the press release is unclear as it talks about free checkin for those with hand luggage and doesn't mention they will be charged but does mention people with hold luggage will be.

It looks almost like it was written and then rewritten and not really checked through before issuing.

I'll wait for the FAQ's to be updated.

Surely, you are not suggesting that FR were unsure of what they wanted to say and then rushed into print? Surely not?

and stop calling me Shirley ...

Latest from Irish Indo'

Doesn't care about passengers, doesn't care about staff, only cares about the bottom line. Good business man

Ryanair check-in plan to cost 50 jobs and €250, 000 a year at Dublin airport - Irish, Business - Independent.ie

Me thinks the DAA will find someway of recovering the shortfall in desk rental.

Knowing DAA, the car park charges will be going up again!

The problem with airport car parking charges is that massive increases can be "sold" on the basis that they are "green" measures designed to encourage people to use public transport. In reality they generate huge revenues for airport operators.

[I remember when it cost just £1 a day to park at Stansted - and you could walk to the terminal - and not much over £20 for 8 day's parking at Gatwick. Now the former is £8.80 a day.]

The web check-in fee will not apply to passengers with cabin baggage only - I got this information from the Ryanair website this evening.
I'm not sure whether this will remain the case when the final stage of the transition to "no airport check-in" is reached.

Thanks. Had been my reading of the press release but it was a poor press release that could be interpreted either way.
