She hasn't flown Ryanair in about five years. On the last occasion I think I booked her flight and posted her the print-out (we live in different countries). Before then it used to be possible to book Ryanair flights via travel agents (that's how I booked my first few flights with them back in 2000!), and I believe she's also booked them at the Ryanair desk at her local airport which is only five minutes away - this may also no longer be possible.
You have 15 days before your flight to check in, worse case you can go to a cybercafe and check in.
And how do you do that if you don't know how to use a computer? Not knowing how to use a computer is quite common when you're of my mother's generation (late 70s); none of her large circle of friends do, and she is one of only a handful of people in that group that know how to send text messages from a mobile phone.
