KNAU Arizona Public Radio continues to integrate new audio software into both our news and classical services, resulting in some glitches. Thank you for your support and patience through this upgrade.

KNAU 88.7 is restored to full power. APS cut power to our system atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's electricity meter and restored it early Monday morning.

Budget airline Ryanair has found a new way to charge a fee

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Michel Martin.

First there was the fee to check your bag, then extra legroom, meaning barely enough to begin with. But now the budget airline Ryanair has managed to take things a step further. Now travelers can be charged up to $27 to get a digital boarding pass with a seat assignment, or they can wait in line to get one printed for free. Furious passengers are venting on social media, calling the move disgraceful. A spokesman for Ryanair says passengers have a choice. Sure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
