Taking Ryanair to court
Discussion
Friend was flying gatwick to Dublin on an Aussie passport, anyway put his details (including aus passport and number), checks in online and prints boarding card out and goes through this new automated departure gates, the flight is called and my friend is not allowed on as he has to go back to passport control and get passport stamped, PC advised it happens all the time with Ryan air and is a common problem, therefore he was not allowed on flight and then the fekkers wanted £110 for the next available flight.
He had business people to meet, is it worth summonings ryanair for say a 1k for in convienice and if so anyone have there English Address

Ryanair website says:
"Please note: Irrespective of a passenger's visa requirements, all non EU/EEA citizens must have their travel documents checked and online boarding pass stamped at the Ryanair Visa/Document Check Desk before going through airport security."
So I don't think your mate has a leg to stand on.

How did he think he could go from one country to another without having a foreign passport checked?

Surely as the website makes you enter the origin of your passport, it should then flag up that you must get your passport stamped, and not just print out your boarding card, this he found out is quite a common occurrence and who benefits from this sharp practice but Ryan Air. Is this hidden away in the TC's ?"Please note: Irrespective of a passenger's visa requirements, all non EU/EEA citizens must have their travel documents checked and online boarding pass stamped at the Ryanair Visa/Document Check Desk before going through airport security."

Easy solution here. Don't use Ryanair. I've always found BA cheaper for the recent flights we've had. In fact, when I booked our recent trip to Munich last November, BA club-class out and eco back was cheaper than Ryanair return. I flatly refuse to fly them, and why should I when they're not cheap any more.

My solution as well, if Ryanair is the only option then I don't go!fatboy b said:

i've never managed to find cheaper BA flight, I'm starting to think they are a mythNot a great fan of Rotten Air (now Cityjet from London City are as cheap) but you friend is 100% totally in the wrong.
Ryanair are normally faultless to fly with - if you play by the rules. I always have a bag small enough to fit underneath the seat in front and board last. No queue, no issues - takes off on time, lands early.
Really surprised Ryanair didn't hold his hand and make him a cup of tea.......

The challenge of using RyanAir is to understand the rules and play them at their own game (i.e. no luggage, print boarding card at home, used to be able to use a prepay MasterCard debt card to avoid booking fees,never buy food on a flight, never amend flights, change names).
it's when you pretend they are a conventional airline that things get tricky and expensive.

This. it's when you pretend they are a conventional airline that things get tricky and expensive.
If you use them for flights under 2 hours, and look at it as a fancy coach, then they are great.
We expected a poor service, but it was totaly fine as long as you knew what the T&C's are.
