Ryanair passengers could be hit by extra fees during 'no-go period'

Ryanair travellers have been warned they could be slapped with extra fees if they don't check in before the "no-go period" this week.

The budget airline's app and website will go down for maintenance for 11 hours from 6pm on Tuesday, November 8 until 5am on Wednesday, November 9. Passengers will be unable to check in online or through the app during this period.

Those who don't check in before this time will have to do it at the airport. However, they could be forced to shell out a fee of €55 (or €30 for flights specifically going to Spain) if they check in less than two hours before the flight, the Irish Mirror reports.

People looking to jet off have also been reminded to carry their printed boarding pass to avoid Ryanair's €20 "Boarding Card Reissue Fee".

An in-person check-in fee was first introduced back in 2007 but has since increased to €55. While the airline advises customers to check in as early as possible on the app, some journeys continue to require a paper boarding pass to be printed.

Flexi-plus ticket holders or passengers who have booked their seats are able to check in 60 days before their flight. All other travellers can check in 24 hours before they are expected to depart.
