In recent news, Ryanair announced they will increase the fee passengers that forget to print their boarding card and ask for it to be reprinted at the airport. Michael O’Leary, Ryanair’s CEO, recently said his company plans to the charge now at €40 to €100 – a 150% increase, but hasn’t mentioned the exact date for this. We have found a way to get around this fee available at selected airports in Ireland and in the UK.

Printing your boarding card online can be done from 15 days to 4 hours prior to the flight.

An Irish internet company decided to help passengers affected by this fee by offering them a more cheaper alternative.

Surfbox, a company based in Kilkenny, installed kiosks in several UK airports to help forgetful passengers. They said around 100 Ryanair passengers per day are using their machines to print boarding cards at their kiosk located in the Dublin airport. The company has now expanded and installed similar kiosks in Cork, Shannon and Liverpool airports.

So if you’re ever at the above mentioned airports and forget to print your boarding card at home, use Surfbox’s kiosks and save from €40 to €100.

Have a pleasant flight!
