Ryanair passengers warned of online check-in rule and fine for breaking it

Travellers preparing to jet off with Ryanair are being warned of a fine that will be issued to those who arrive at the airport without having checked in online.

Ryanair's online check-in opens 60 days before the scheduled departure time if you have purchased an allocated seat - but now the Liverpool Echo reports that those who have not checked in before arriving at the airport will be issued a fee by the airline.

Ryanair does operate airport check-in, but charges apply - customers who have not checked in online will encounter an airport check-in fee, which is £/€55 (for flights from Spain €/£ 30) per passenger.

Customers can be allocated a seat free of charge if they check in online between 24 and two hours before each booked flight - however you cannot check in online during the two hours before your flight’s scheduled departure time.

Once you have checked in online you can print copies of your boarding pass, or download them to your mobile phone, up to two hours before the scheduled departure time.

Your boarding pass must be printed on a single A4 page or downloaded through the Ryanair app - failure to do so will result in a fine.

If you have checked in but you have not printed your boarding pass or have it downloaded on the Ryanair app, you will be charged for the boarding pass reissue fee, which is £/€20 per passenger.

It's also important to note some airports do not accept Ryanair's mobile boarding passes. These include airports in:

  • Kefalonia, Greece
  • Turkey
  • Morocco
  • Israel
  • Lebanon

Customers travelling from these airports must check-in online and print out a paper boarding pass for their flight(s). You can find more information about boarding passes on Ryanair's website here.
