Awful how?

Very poor SadFacing, I only bring it to your attention because of his choice of car.






One of Emmett's pals?

*was going to bring a whiplash claim but bottled it when he had to take a medical and then got lumbered with costs to date.

I say another as I'm sure I've made that comment before.

Saw this on Facebook the other night with all the predictable outraged comments, these stories are par for the course.

Utter horseshit because there are so many things that Ryanair ought to be getting called out on (their disgraceful employment practises for one, where they're basically allowed to flout the minimum wage laws), but these stories are just people not reading the rules or forgetting. It tells you in big letters several times that you need to check in and print your boarding passes and you get an email reminder before your flight aswell. She should see how she gets on turning up for her first class BA flight without a ticket.

It does say she was on holiday - but I'm pretty sure they have internet cafes in Spain, with printers and everything. Or, y'know, do it before you go.

Edit: I see Stephen Glover is weighing in on it now. You know what? You want dirt cheap flights, you put up with the rules. Don't book an easyJet or Ryanair flight and then moan about it.

As a little helpful tip for all my Mailwatch friends, I've always been able to check in a few days before the 14 days. That's actually how I always reserve the best seat (16F) before anybody else gets it.

If you're going away for two weeks, you will almost certainly be able to print your return boarding pass the day before you set off.

In the case of this lady, she thought that having a PDF of the passes saved on her phone would be sufficient, apparently completely ignoring the bit at the bottom which is torn off by the cabin staff.

He's quite the ray of sunshine isn't he?


It's a wonder that anyone goes on holiday at all, that sounds like literally one of the worst experiences that you could have


It's in BIG letters when you book the flight and you have to click a pop-up message to acknowledge the fact

Not quite sure how this stacks up either:

How did she get the PDF onto her phone if she couldn't check in?

Oh yes, that's him.

Because the boarding passes are emailed as pdf files? Ferry companies do that, but aren't quite so far into ripping you off as Ryanair is.

With Ryanair you need to log on to the website, enter your check-in details and then it brings up the pass where you can print it, or presumably output it to PDF. There's no way you can get a PDF file without going through that check-in procedure.

That's what I said, isn't it? She couldn't print it because she didn't have access to a printer, not because she didn't have access to the internet.

IIRC, I'm pretty sure you actually have to tick a box/click a button that explicitly confirms you have printed them, before it lets you continue. I've flown with Ryanair a couple of times, and yes it is basic, but I got to Barcelona and back for about 70 quid.

That's the problem with third world countries like Spain. You try finding the USB port on a Caxton printing press.

In that case she ought to have found somewhere to print it, it does warn you several times that you need to do this. These stories always make out like the instruction is buried in the smallprint somewhere but while there might have been justifiable complaints when low-cost airlines first started doing this, it couldn't be any less subtle nowadays if Michael O'Leary came round to your house and yelled it in your ear.

I think this is the archetypal sadface story, she made a mistake and it's a shame for her, but there's no need to go off to the papers looking to blame someone else.
