And the hard-to-select second choice is: "or going to the check-in counter at the airport more than two hours before departure" https://noyb.eu/en/booking-rya

  No, that’s the second choice that noyb mentioned last year when announcing their complaint about the then-current version of Ryanair’s policy. In the new article which triggered this HN post, discussing Ryanair’s updated policy, the second option is sending Ryanair a handwritten signature and a copy of a government ID.

    It's an airplane ticket. Not a house selling contract!

      The idea is to abide by the letter of the law, while making it far too inconvenient for anyone to actually do it. A bit like Apple and their iPhone battery replacement kits.

        What about the apple battery kits?

      I agree it’s unjustified, yeah. I think even the old policy was inappropriate and this is far worse.

    Ah, arguably worse for many situations. Last minute bookings as one example.

  Going to the check-in counter at Ryanair costs "€/£55 (for flights from Spain €/£ 30)". https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/useful-info/help-centre/fees https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/useful-info/help-centre/fees
