A FAMILY were left out of pocket after their Ryanair boarding passes didn\u2019t work – and the airline charged them again.<\/p>\n

Damian Lloyd had booked flights to Gran Canaria with the budget airline for a 10-day holiday with his family.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said that he checked in a month before the flight and printed their boarding passes out.<\/p>\n

However, after arriving at the airport with his wife and daughter, staff at the check-in desk were left baffled after they didn't scan.<\/p>\n

Mr Lloyd, 50, told the BBC: "He looked on the computer, and our names and seat numbers came up. <\/p>\n

"But for some reason [the boarding passes] weren't scanning. He didn't know why."<\/p>\n

As their flight was early in the morning, Ryanair's customer service was not open yet to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

They were given the option of waiting for it to open and miss their flights, or pay for new boarding passes, costing the family \u00a3165.<\/p>\n

One of Ryanair\u2019s steepest fees is to print boarding passes at the airport for anyone who doesn\u2019t check in, which costs \u00a355 per person.<\/p>\n

Mr Lloyd ran into further problems after he was initially told he would be able to apply for a refund, due to the issue not being their fault.<\/p>\n

However, Ryanair then said it was the family's fault – as they unchecked themselves online.<\/p>\n

Mr Lloyd said he was left in "total shock," having flown with Ryanair before and having no problem with the extra fees the airline charges.<\/p>\n

He added: "If I had made the mistake I'd put my hands in the air and pay but I did have the right passes."<\/p>\n

A Ryanair spokesperson said:"[The family] unchecked themselves on the website on 22 July and ignored the pop-up that warned them they would have to check in again and generate new boarding passes.<\/p>\n

"As they didn't have valid boarding passes, they were correctly charged the airport check-in fee."<\/p>\n

Another couple were caught out by the same problem last month.<\/p>\n

Ruth and Peter<\/span> Jaffe had booked Ryanair flights from Stansted to Bergerac, only to realise they had printed their return boarding passes, not their outgoing ones.<\/p>\n

The couple were then charged \u00a3110 at the airport to reprint their tickets.<\/p>\n

Here are some other ways Ryanair catches passengers out with extra fees.<\/p>\n
