RYANAIR is axing one of its much-hated fees that often catches passengers out at the airport.
From November 12, the £55 to print your boarding pass at the airport will be scrapped.
Currently, families who arrive at the airport without a boarding pass need to head to a check in desk and pay the fee.
This means a family of four could be left £220 out of pocket.
Last year, an elderly couple had to pay £110 after they printed out the wrong boarding pass, sparking fury in other travellers.
However, the budget airline is ditching this fee ahead of the new boarding pass changes this month.
From next week, printed boarding passes will be scrapped with passengers instead needing to have Digital Boarding passes.
Passengers will have to download the Ryanair app to get the mobile boarding passes instead.
This will be required for all countries, excluding Morocco where a printed boarding pass will need to be given at the check in desk.
Initially hoped to be rolled out back in May, it was delayed to November 3, before being confirmed for November 12.
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary previously said: “Our goal is to eliminate check-in desks at the airport, just like we’ve done with luggage counters.
“It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport – the airport check in fee will be gone.
“So, I think it will be a smoother, easier journey for everybody.”
The airline has reassured passengers that if they lose their phone or the battery dies, Ryanair staff can still print out a pass at the airport gate.
Of course, Ryanair still has a number of other strict fees that catch passengers out.
Changing the name of the passenger can cost up to £160, while a missed flight fee is £100.
The airline recently increased the size of their free personal bag that passengers can take onboard, by 5cm.
But you could have to pay up to £45 if it breaks the size rules and you have to check it in.
This is if it is 10kg – anything over this can be a £60 fee.
And last year, Ryanair confirmed that passengers who are removed from a flight for being disruptive will be charged £500.
