Officially got screwed by @Ryanair today.
I thought being European + having traveled to 40+ countries meant I’d seen every airline trick in the book.
Apparently 𝐍𝐎𝐓.
𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 £𝟓𝟓 (𝐈𝐍𝐑 𝟕,𝟏𝟎𝟎) 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄!!
Not extra baggage.
Not a seat upgrade.
Not lounge access.
Just the privilege of a human being printing a boarding pass.
Indians complain a lot about airlines, but trust me, some of you have no idea how good you have it.
Spend five minutes with a European budget airline and you’ll come back apologizing to IndiGo and Akasa 😆
Signed,
