Ryanair travel warning to all passengers checking in online for flights in November

A warning has been sent out to Ryanair customers over online check-ins for flights booked in November.

The airline has announced its online check-in process will be down temporarily, which could result in holidaymakers being hit with an unexpected fee. The Ryanair website and app is set to undergo maintenance for an 11-hour period, with the outage starting 6pm on November 8 and ending at 5am on November 9.

Passengers have been told to check in ahead of the maintenance work if they are flying during this period. Ryanair charges customers £55 for failing to check in online if their flight departs in less than two hours, or £30 for flights to Spain.

An announcement on the Irish airline's website reads: "Due to planned maintenance, Ryanair website / app will be temporarily down from 18.00hrs Tue, 8 – 05.00hrs Wed, 9 Nov. Customers who are due to fly during this 11-hour period should check-in online before 18.00hrs on Tue, 8 Nov."

A fine over check-ins could leave passengers out of pocket before their holiday even begins. The news comes after a recent report found that two-thirds of Brits admit they were also caught out by " financial blindspots " while abroad.

The HSBC UK survey found that one in 10 have made purchases abroad in GBP, which is more expensive than local currencies. On top of this, six in 10 holidaymakers said they incurred fees for cash withdrawals and debit card transactions last time they travelled overseas. One in four Brits were also found to have gone over-budget by between £100-£300 on their holiday this year.
