Excerpt
After booking a Ryanair flight through the online travel agency eDreams, the complainant received an email from Ryanair requesting her to complete a “verification process”. She was presented with the choice of either verifying through facial recognition – or going to the check-in counter at the airport more than two hours before departure. The complainant would not have been able to board the flight if she had refused to obey these instructions. She was even charged a small fee for the “verification process”.
My wife and I used a Travel Agent for our honeymoon. We had a lot going on and it was just something we could take off our plate. It was honestly a pretty easy experience, though I probably wouldn’t use it in most circumstances.
