Why moan at Ryanair for charging for check in...

Just been reading the Leeds Bradford airport website, and there is an article about Thomas Cook, and web check in. They are charging £6 per person per sector for you to check in online, yes you are guaranteed seats together, so thats £12! Then you have the option of the 'extra leg room seats' at £23.50 per sector per flight, total of £47 EACH!

Now lets compare that to Ryanair, you pay for a return online check in, £10. Priority boarding, booked ahead of time, return, £8 but if brought on the day at the airport £5 each way. You just need to get to the front of the queue of priority, and then you are guaranteed an exit seat. So £18 (£20) spent only! So better off going to Ryanair I feel!
