Ryanair announce 100% web check in from October

Ryanair today announced a three phase program which will lead to 100% web based in passenger check in from October 1 2009.
Phase 1 : From March 19 2009 web based check in will be extended to non EU citizens, passengers with checked in baggage and passengers with reduced mobility.
Phase 2 : From May 1 2009 all new bookings will be required to use web based check in with the phase out of traditional airport check desks beginning. To dissuade passengers from availing of airport check in, the fee for the use of such services will double to €20 or £20 per person per flight at the time of booking.
Phase 3 : From October 1, airport check in desks will no longer exist. Passengers will be required to check in on line and those with baggage will be required to bring their bags to a drop desk. From this date, unaccompanied passengers under the age of 16 will no longer be eligible to travel and passports / national identity cards will be the only acceptable form of identification.
