Budget airline Ryanair says it will do away with airport check-in desks by October.

Europe’s largest discount carrier said Tuesday passengers will have to check in online before arriving at the airport. They will be able to use baggage drop desks for their luggage if needed.

Ryanair first announced plans to abolish check-in desks last month, saying most of its customers already check in online.

Spokesman Stephen McNamara said the move should help reduce air fares.
