Ryanair’s big boss Michael O’Leary is gearing up his airline for European domination of the skies. The chief executive has plans to take over Europe’s short-haul routes and fly 120 million passengers a year. Big dreams or our new reality?

Airlines that charge passengers a fee to check in their luggage (aka, a lot of them) and make it mandatory for passengers to print their own boarding cards could find themselves in the middle of a lawsuit for not following Spanish law.

Low cost airlines seem to be hitting new lows as Wizz Air, a Hungarian low cost airline, considers the possibility of charging passengers for their carry-on luggage. They wouldn’t be the first in the world, but at least the first in Europe to do it.

Ryanair has announced that its website will be closed for maintenance this weekend, meaning that passengers taking-off with them won’t be able to print off their boarding passes. No boarding pass at the airport? Expect to dish out £60 according to Ryanair’s fee scheme.
