Ryanair Extends Charges For Priority Boarding

Ryanair has announced that passengers checking-in online will no longer qualify for free priority boarding.

Currently, passengers checking-in at the airport are charged a £4 fee for priority boarding. Ryanair offered the service free of charge to passengers checking in online, to encourage them to use the online checking-in facility. However, it was only a temporary measure, and the change will come into effect for all bookings from June 3.

On the same date, Ryanair will also be launching an online name change facility, which will allow passengers to make name changes up to 24 hours before travel. Passengers previously were only able to change names by calling the Ryanair call centre.
