With Ryanair, the golden rule is to ALWAYS check in online and print or download your boarding pass – if you don't, you could have to cough up £45 per person, per flight. Yet Ryanair's just changed its T&Cs so for flights departing from 1 Nov, you'll only be able to check in for free up to four days in advance (it's currently up to seven days). 

The people this hits are those that would check-in between four and seven days in advance, particularly those going away for a week who want to sort it all before they go. If that's you, consider using the app (see below for info). 

Ryanair passengers can choose between paying for a seat – it's typically between £8 and £15 per person – or not paying and being randomly allocated seating.

• If you pay for a seat, you can check in for free up to 30 days before flying. This isn't changing.
• If you don't pay for a seat, you can currently check in for free between two hours and seven days before departure. However for anyone checking in from Tue 1 Nov, this is changing to between two hours and four days before departure. See the Ryanair cuts free check-in window MSE News story for more info.

Passengers watch in horror as two Ryanair planes collide on Dublin Airport runway - leaving one with top of its wing ripped off.

 A Ryanair jet had the top of its wing torn off today after it collided with another of the company's jets while they were both taxiing to the runway.

The Boeing 737s heading to Edinburgh and Brussels ran into eachother in the darkness at Dublin Airport early this morning.

Passengers watched in horror and managed to take photos of the aftermath, and revealed how the tip of one plane's wing was missing. It was left lodged in the rear wing of the plane it crashed into.

The airline today launched a new app allowing passengers to book and check in using only their smartphones. 

Ryanair continued its customer-first charm offensive today with the launch of an app that could spell the end of the paper boarding pass. 

Got a smartphone?

As of today, you can book, check-in for and board Ryanair flights without paper boarding passes.

This morning, the airline  launched a new app for iPhone and Android, which enables customers to browse, book, check in and board the airline using their phones.

Don't have a smartphone?

Then you're back to paper. You need to either check-in online and print your own boarding pass (as has been the case), or face a hefty €15 fee for a reprint at the airport.

The app, which has actually been available available since last Friday, allows customers to:

Log in with their 'My Ryanair' profile
Search Ryanair's 1,600 routes
Make quicker flight bookings
Choose and book allocated seats
Manage bookings and add baggages
Check in and download mobile boarding passes
View live flight information
Although the airline says the app allows passengers to book hotels and car hire, our tests found it actually redirects customers to ryanairhotels.com and ryanair.hertz.com on smartphone web browsers.

The app is available in English, Italian and Spanish.

Ryanair has announced a new product, Family Extra, which includes a range of discounts for parents travelling with children.

It includes half-price allocated seating for kids, a 50% reduction on children's baggage fees, discounted priority boarding and half-price travel insurance for youngsters.

The airline has also reduced its infant fees to £20 and parents will be given a free5kg  infant bag allowance. They will also be able to take two pieces of baby equipment, such as buggies, car seats and travel cots, in the hold without charge.

There will also be bottle warming and baby changing facilities onboard for the first time.

Parents who book a seat for an infant will be able to bring an airline-approved car seat onboard too.

For families who fly frequently with Ryanair, there is a new Fly & Save bonus of 20%off every third family flight.

Family Extra is now available to book online at  http://ryanair.com/en/family

The new launch of the new family-friendly product follows Ryanair's decision to introduce allocated seating earlier this year to ensure parents aren't separated from their children.

The airline has also relaxed its carry-on bag policy to allow passengers to take a second, small item of hand luggage, but this has been criticised as space restrictions in overhead luggage bins mean that in practice only the first 90 passengers to board are guaranteed to have space to stow their items.

Ryanair has also been criticised for changes to its online check in window from two weeks to just seven days, so passengers travelling on a two-week holiday can't print out boarding passes for their return flight before they leave home.

New boarding passes and a Ryanair app will be introduced in July.
