surprised by ryanair’s late check-in fee

We finally made it to the airport, feeling relieved after a hectic morning, only to be hit with a 55€ fee per person for checking in late with Ryanair. Honestly, I had no idea such a steep penalty even existed. I went through the whole ticketing process and didn’t see any clear warning about this fee. Maybe I missed something, but I don’t travel much, so I’m not exactly a pro at these things. It just feels unfair to get charged so much for something that wasn’t obvious. Has anyone else been caught off guard by hidden airline fees like this? Is there any realistic way to get a refund, or is it just a lost cause? It’s frustrating when you’re already stressed about travel and then get blindsided by extra costs. I can’t be the only one who thinks these surprise charges are a bit much, right? #travelwoes #airlinestories #hiddenfees #Travel
