RYANAIR passengers soon won’t get caught out with a strict £55 when getting to the airport.

The budget airline announced last year that they planned to phase out printed boarding passes.

Currently, passengers who fail to check in online and have to get their boarding pass at the desk has to pay a £55 fee.

Some families have been left hundreds of pounds out of pocket when forgetting to do this.

However, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said last year that he was wanted to scrap all printed passes in favour of mobile boarding passes by May.

He said: “Our goal is to eliminate check-in desks at the airport, just like we’ve done with luggage counters.

“Everything will be managed through the app, making the process fully digital and eliminating paper entirely.”

“I’m one of the last remaining people still showing up with my piece of paper.

“It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport – the airport check in fee will be gone. 

“So, I think it will be a smoother, easier journey for everybody.” 

While this means no more £55 fees, passengers will need to make sure their phone has enough battery.

Anyone with a dead battery may find themselves struggling to get through security.

Despite this, O’Leary said passengers will still be able to board if their phone dies when they get to the gate.

He told the Telegraph: “If your battery dies, we have your seat and your passport and we can do that at the boarding gates at the moment.”

There are a number of destinations that Brits will still need to print their boarding pass for, however.

Airports in Morocco require a physical copy, due to additional checks at security, as do ones in Turkey, excluding Dalaman.

And Tirana Airport in Albania also cannot accept mobile boarding passes.

Sun Travel has contacted Ryanair for clarification regarding mobile passes for these destinations.

Some travel experts have said that other airlines could ditch boarding passes altogether.

Start-up airline Riyadh Air’s chief executive Tony Douglas said mobile boarding passes could even be a thing of the past by 2030.

This would be replaced with biometric checks such as fingerprint and iris scans.

A COUPLE have opened up on getting constantly stared and shouted at in the street as a result of their height difference. 

After years of dating men, Lizzy Jade Groombridge, who is known online as Lizzy Long Legs, has now ditched ‘short Kings’ for her ‘short Queen’ – her new girlfriend, Candie Dixon.

But since getting together, with Lizzy standing at 6ft 3″ tall and Candie a significantly shorter 4ft 9″, the pair’s height difference often attracts unwanted attention.

The women, who live in Cornwall, UK, first met in Costa Coffee after speaking on social media, and started off as best mates. 

But they soon realised there was something more and now they’re happily in love.

Revealing all to Truly, on an episode of Love Don’t Judge, the women opened up on the judgement they regularly face. 

Lizzy confessed: “People tend to glare, whisper amongst themselves.”

To which Candie explained: “I’m holding hands with someone who is so much taller than me. And I kind of get nervous sometimes because I think, do they think that I’m your daughter because of the height?” 

Not only is Lizzy shouted at in public, called a ‘Green Giant’ by haters, and forced to tell people ‘she’s not my child’, but she even has her height tattooed on her hand in an attempt to stop people asking how tall she is. 

But it appeared that content creator Candie may struggle with the comments slightly more than Lizzy, as she revealed: “I’m getting a bit fed up of the comments online.

“Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating.”

Agreeing, Lizzy added: “I think it’s a projection of men’s insecurities over a woman being so much taller.

“That can emasculate them and make them feel insecure so they project that.

“We often get stared at but we don’t care. It doesn’t matter what they think.” 

Celebrity couples with height differences

• Zendaya (5’10”) and Tom Holland (5’8″)
• Cameron Diaz (5’9″) and Benji Madden (5’6″)
• Eniko Parrish (5’7″) and Kevin Hart (5’4″)
• Gwendoline Christie (6’3″) and Giles Deacon (6′)
• Tina Fey (5’5″) and Jeff Richmond (5’2″)
• Nicole Kidman (5’11”) and Keith Urban (5’10”)
• Helen Lasichanh (5’11”) and Pharrell Williams (5’9″)
• Erin Darke (5’7″) and Daniel Radcliffe (5’5″)

Lizzy explained that she thinks the trolls have their “own issues they need to work on” and should “stop projecting” on others.

As a result, she’s on a mission not to let them get her down, as she beamed: “It doesn’t stop me. I still wear heels.

Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating

Candie

“Now, I’m comfortable in who I am.”

Despite receiving judgement from haters on a regular basis, YouTube users were keen to support Lizzie and Candie, and eagerly flocked to the comments to praise their relationship. 

One person said: “I adore their style against trolls & haters! YOU GO GIRLS!

Another added: “You both seem happy and that’s all that matters.” 

A third commented: “If the two girls have that strong bond and care for each other that’s all that matters.”
