Digital boarding passes make it quick and easy to breeze through airport check-in and security, but Ryanair passengers may find it’s no longer a given.<\/p>\n

The airline, which already charges extra to print boarding passes, has imposed a new fee on its customers.<\/p>\n

According to Ryanair staff, it is now customary for travellers to pay to add a random seat to their booking to access the digital boarding pass.<\/p>\n

It comes as a crushing blow to savvy jet-setters who have managed to dodge seat selection fees by accepting their fate with a randomised allocation.<\/p>\n

Now, fliers must pay between \u00a38 and \u00a321 for their e-pass, or face long queues at the airport to get a physical one.<\/p>\n

The budget airline already charges extra for additional hand luggage, hold luggage and boarding pass printing, like most other carriers.<\/p>\n

But now passengers have found that seat selection is no longer something they can easily opt out of – even if they’re happy with a random allocation.<\/p>\n

Airport staff reportedly told The Mail on Sunday that the change, which has been rolled out in recent days, had caused outrage among customers.<\/p>\n

And it’s clear to see on social media, with several people having taken to X, formerly Twitter to share their anger.<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, one person wrote: “@Ryanair I just can\u2019t believe your new policy of not allowing passengers to create a boarding pass (mobile or print-out) unless they buy a seat, forcing them to join a check-in queue (30 minutes or longer) to do so for no other reason for you to make a few quid. Scandalous.”<\/p>\n
