I don’t think they have. For as long as I can remember the base price for CuntyAir and co has been relatively cheap but the optional extras went from a similar price to almost double the cost of the base flight. This is over a good 20 or 25 years. So that tells me that they know people will still be suckered in by the cheap base flight and get stung with the extras so they maximise the revenue in that area. Charging to print a boarding pass is astronomical. They’re just milking old people that can’t use a mobile phone (and there are plenty). I don’t think people have understood the model and I think Ryanshits knows this.
I mean, charging to print the pass is shit, but I’m sure it was written into the T&C’s when they booked the flights somewhere. Again, if you’re elderly and this stuff is an issue, book your flight with a provider who aren’t looking to make an extra few bob on everything they can.
