Ryanair Putting Up Three-Day Away Message
Better buy those Ryanair tickets soon. The LCC is going offline from February 22 until February 25, and you won't be able to call in ticket orders either. The airline says it's switching over to a new flight booking system and has no choice but to go dark.
Three days? Are they building the new servers by hand? The good news is that the change over will likely make Ryanair's pricing schemes more transparent. The carrier has dodged deadlines until now that require European airlines to include all non-optional costs in advertised prices. Industry watchers suspect that when Ryanair's back online it'll be in compliance with the rules.
There's more good news, too. During the service outage you'll be allowed to check in at the airport without paying the usual fee. Of course, the problem there is that you'll have to check in at the airport.
