    I have checked in online for a flight tommorow but I keep getting a "runtime error" when I try to print my boarding pass.

    Anyone know how I can fix it?

    Save as a file and reboot the PC. Try again. You can perhaps try printing from another PC?

    You have a drivers issue.

    Right click on my computer. Click on Manage or Manage Drivers. Click on Device Manager.

    In the right pane you should see a long list of drivers. The offending driver should be highlighted with a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark.

    Right click and update driver.

    If it's still not working you can get them to reprint it at the airport. I printed them off before but they complained it was too small and they couldn't read it at security so they went into the bin and we got them reprinted by AL. The only problem was it's about 10 floors down to the cave to AL in Dublin Airport.

    * Assuming Dublin Airport ..

    You would have been charged €40 per flight like my sister in law a few weeks back. She said she did not have the booking number which I printed and gave to her. "Oh I forgot that, I didnt think I needed it". God Damn Idiot, I say.

    Ryanair charged her €40 per flight for the luxury of printing her a compliment slip with her booking number on it which she was around 10 mtrs to hand to a girl. The girl at check in would not take the booking number unless it was on a piece of paper, i.e not from memory.

    thats why i never ever fly ryanair. in my opinion its the small things that count and if ryanair do things like that i would never give them my money, regardless of how cheap their flights are. i have no time for this race to the bottom in customer service

    TBF to Ryanair they are good unless something goes wrong. If you have to contact their customer services for any reason then the whole deal goes sour but for city hopping they are great.

    Currently they are 62% cheaper than Aer Fungus out of Dublin.

    If you want a pleasant experience with Ryanair, read everything and do everything THEIR way. If you want a pleasnt experience with Aer Lingus you will more or less get it unless you go out of your way and turn up late or have excess baggage.

    Ryanair are a streamlined business and poor poor Aer Lingus are bogged down with the scurge of Unions. :rolleyes:

    Hi,

    To the OP, and others , I always hit the button to print the boarding pass at the ' fast pass ' machine .

    So you are checked in but you print the b/p at the airport .

    If I am away and checkin on line , I usually have no access to a printer . So I ignore the printed pdf copy and then go the check in and they print it for me.

    never had a problem with this and it avoids any issues with printers etc .

    I'd agree 100% with Berty, Ryanair do have a place but if anything out of the ordinary happens your left high and dry.

    About 6 years ago my Ryanair flight home from Beauvais was cancelled because of fog. Most of us were kicked out of the airport at midnight as taxi's pulled up to take us to random hotels. Myself and the wife ended up sharing a taxi with an Italian couple and we were dropped off at a budget hotel that was closed and we had to get a hotel key by sticking our credit card in a vending machine :eek:. I won't bother you with the details of the mass orgy we had that night, but needless to say it was a bizarre experience.

    Anyhow I didn't really complain at the time as I got the flights for feck all, so I went into it with my eyes open. I've been to France twice since then and have used Aer Lingus both times as I'm more than prepared to pay the extra few quid to get better a level of service.

    Ryanair will help out, i printed my boarding pass last august for a flight to France, but the bar code wouldn't print out on the sheet. I simply brought the printed boarding pass to the ryanair help desk and they filled out a boarding pass for me, no questions asked, no hassle. I was actually quite surprised to be honest!!!:)

    You might have met a new recruit who had not yet been fully inducted in the Ryanair way.

    It says something about their culture that you were surprised to encounter a helpful attitude.

    That is true, but at 4am in the morning I dont think that anyone would be awfully helpful!!! But i didn't have any problems getting through security or boarding the plane with it. There was absolutely no hassle at all.

    I was surprised because they dont have a good name, and id only travelled with them once before that so i didnt know what to expect.

    I've printed off my online boarding pass for a flight to Cardiff with Aer Lingus. Do I need to go near the desk at all or can I go straight to the boarding gate?


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 7,730 Mod ✭✭✭✭delly


    If you have no luggage to check in, then straight to the boarding gate.
