I still feel mortified with my recent experience with Ryanair flight. I flew from Catania to Naples that was due to depart at 8:25, so I arrived at 7am at the airport and lined up in the queue for baggage drop having already done the online checking. The queue was so long and moving very slow but we patiently waited in the line, while a couple of times, the guy at the counter shouted names of the cities to urge passengers onboarding the flights to those cities. We were extremely attentive so are very sure that they did not say the name "Naples" or "Napoli" but in any case, the guy only shouted the name of those cities once or twice so there was no way of people missing that moment for some reason to know that their destination had been called for expedited onboarding.
The time then passed and our last check-in time for baggage drop was nearing but still our destination Naples was not called. We were starting to feel increasingly anxious and when they called out the name of Venice, for which the flight time was later than ours, we rushed to the counter and told them about our flight. To our enormous surprise they said the checkin for Naples had been clased so there is no way we can drop our suitcases. We got so upset but there was no way we could give up so easily, so we kept on pushing the counter staff to help us, in the end, he told me to bring the suitcases to security and ask the guy to let us with the suitcases. There continued to be a few bumps on the way, but we finally managed to get to the boarding gate with our suitcases, only to find the airline staff claiming that we had to pay additional charge of €100 per person, for the suitcases, as we were late. At this time I just could not hold back my anger, but we could not help but to pay the claimed charges in order to board the plane.
Absolutely horrible experience, and I swore to myself that I would never, ever, use Ryanair.
