RyanAir: Bye Bye, Checked Bags And Airport Check-In. Hello, Gambling!

. . .RyanAir this week announced that they will soon eliminate all airport check-in counters and require passengers to carry-on their luggage. Starting early next year, passengers will need to schlep their bags through airport security and drop them at the steps of the plane for checking into plane's cargo hold. Once aboard though, there will be gambling!

The airline expects to debut their in-flight gambling service within five years, even though the U.K. Gambling Association says that "all forms of commercial betting and gaming are illegal on aircraft." Whatever. Norms and rules are for other airlines, not RyanAir. No, they'll never abandon their zealous mission to become the first successful airline with the motto: "Bring Your Own Plane!". . .


on your own. . .

They had to eliminate checking baggage.

Otherwise betting on whether or not it would arrive with out would garner the biggest wagering.

This doesn't sound legit...

People routinely have things in checked luggage that would not be allowed past the security check point (more than three ounces of any liquid, tools, firearms etc).


The management can dream of cutting costs but this plan plain (plane) won't work.

I agree. I am flying Ryanair on Wednesday and I have used them several times. "Checked" baggage means that your bags have been submitted to an extra screening process (one that you do not get to witness).

If your "checked bag" and your "carry-on" are only subjected to the same (less than stellar) security process I have seen at several "international security check-points", I would be very concerned.
