RYANAIR RE-LAUNCHES ONLINE CHECK-IN AT DUBLIN AIRPORT

Ryanair today (Thursday Apr 27th) welcomed the introduction of its Check’N’Go facility on the Cork – Dublin route, after SIPTU agreed to stop blocking the service, and allow passengers to travel without hindrance between Dublin and Cork.

Announcing the introduction of Check’N’Go Services in Dublin airport today, Ryanair’s Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:

“Ryanair is delighted to introduce its web check-in service on the Dublin to Cork route, which is finally being introduced, although thanks to SIPTU it is 8 weeks after it was introduced in most of the rest of Europe. This service will reduce queues at both check-in and boarding gates. Passengers travelling with hand luggage in possession of an EU passport can now check-in online at http://www.ryanair.com between 72 and 4 hours prior to departure time.

“We have written to the Department of Transport and are now awaiting the go-ahead to introduce web check-in on all Irish routes. Web check-in has reduced queues for passengers all over Europe since we introduced the service over most of Europe last March, and we anticipate that the Government will soon allow all Irish passengers to avail of this time-saving, queue-cutting service”.
