Pick up boarding passes to/from Rome. Ryanair now only makes them available online seven days in advance of the flight. They can be obtained at the airport, but for €70 per trip. Therefore round trip for two boarding passes cost €280 (£210, $402 CAD). Makes a mockery of the term low cost carrier. And it's not accidental. Ryanair hopes that extra charges will substantially underwrite the operation.
