I just found this:
New Web Check-In Service – Check’N’GoCommencing in March 2006, passengers will be able check-in on-line free of charge from the comfort of their own home or office. Web check-in can be used by all passengers holding an EU passport and when travelling with hand luggage ONLY. Passengers can web check-in from 72 hours up to 4 hours prior to flight departure on www.ryanair.com. Passengers using web check-in will also be priority boarded first onto the aircraft. Using web check-in saves time at the airport, by avoiding check-in and boarding gate queues.’
this is basically the new baggage regulations from Ryanair, which may well be followed by the other cheap airlines- making it very attractive to customers to only carry one bag onto the plane (of course this suits Ryanair as they can do their very quick turnaround more easily with less checked-in luggage).
By co-incidence (or synchronicity) I also saw on Lifehacker this site: One Bag
I’ve always tried to travel light but it’s easy to forget the useful stuff and bring something you’re never going to use. A friend of mine once went on holiday and brought a tin of baked beans and a baseball bat, but no underwear… (ok we were about 15 at the time).
