"New check-in machines now installed at Girona airport.
You have to use these machines to check in and print your boarding
pass, then go to any Ryanair counter (none are destination specific)
to drop off your bags and show passports.
There seems to be 20+ machines and the system does work, however
there are no clear signs asking you to use the machines and many
passengers were going straight to bag drop and being then sent to
the machines and having to then get back in line at the back of
queue.
I understand that bookings from 19.03.2009 have to check in on line
(4 hours and 15 days before the flights) but those before 18th
March cannot check in on line, unless they have only hand luggage,
and therefore have to use the machines at Girona.
If used correctly the new system seems to speed up checking in -
nothing could have been worse than the old system of 150+ PAX
queuing with the end of the queue out of the entrance doors amongst
the guilty smokers outside.
Ryanair are being very strict on luggage weight and even more strict
on hand luggage,both on size and weight and you have to put
EVERYTHING in your one piece of hand luggage,including
magazines,handbag and the food and drink you bought to eat on board.
Although I have not seen hand luggage being weighed airside I think
it will be challenged if it will not fit in the "size gauge" and
some were stopped at checkin.
