A Ryanair customer, Bex, was shocked to discover she was charged £55 (€66) for check-in, exceeding the cost of her £32 (€38) flight ticket. Bex complained about the lack of email reminders for online check-in and the difficulties she faced contacting Ryanair's customer service. While some TikTok users expressed sympathy, others defended Ryanair's policy, highlighting the importance of online check-in for budget-friendly fares.

A Ryanair customer has been left gobsmacked after she revealed she had to pay more for check-in than her flight ticket cost.

Facing the prospect of missing her plane, she ranted: "I still haven't got through. I've tried two phone numbers, but can't get through to them." Another asked similar , questioning her: "Why couldn't you check in online? In fairness to Ryanair the whole point of being able to offer £32 flight prices is because they save money on ground staff i.e. you checking in online. It's not a scam."
