Default Check in with Ryanair for return flight

Hello,
I'm using Ryanair to fly, and as I've got hand-luggage only I thought
I'd use the online check-in. However, unlike Easyjet where you can
check-in anytime, Ryanair insist it is done no sooner than 2 days before
the flight.
No problem for the out-going flight, but I have no internet access where
I'm going, so how on Earth do I check it for the return flight?
Ryanair's faq on the website is no use.

Thanks.

I guess basically you don't use the on-line check-in on the return
leg.

I think Ryanair tickets are separate (i.e. one-way) so I suppose it
shouldn't be a problem, excepting you cannot check-in on-line.











Thanks.

You find an internet cafe.

I had to do this two days ago. There were only two
of us on the flight who had done so.

Ryanair's faq on the website is no use.

That's crap. I'm not spending half my holiday looking for an internet cafe.

Because of the number of no-shows, it's worse if they're already
checked-in no-shows than if they're not.

Because they will cancel your return flight and there wont be another
flight for 4 days...and they won't do this until closer to departure
time (when they know that nobody is buying any tickets).

Well, just a thought. But 2 days is actually long compared to many
airlines.

The original post however dealt with the return flight. I imagine the
number of people who board the out-going flight but no-show the incoming
flight is quite low.
If I could check in both flights simultaneously that'd be ok, even if it
was two days before I left.

It's just that Ryanair made a big show about how much people who
check-in at the airport are holding things up and costing them money,
but they don't provide a viable alternative (unlike Easyjet who let you
check-in whenever).
