Ryanair travellers warned about fee for 'no go period' this week

Ryanair passengers are being cautioned over the fact that they will not be able to check in for a time before their journey with a disruption occurring this week.

There will be a "no-go period" regarding online and in-app check-ins during November due to work being done across the website and app.

Ryanair's app and online platform will be shut off for maintenance, which means that check-in portals will be down for a total of 11 hours between 6:00 pm on November 8 and 5:00 am on November 9.

Travellers who don't check in before this service interruption will have to do it at the airport and could be slapped with a fee of €55 or €30 for flights specifically going to Spain if you’re checking in less than two hours before your flight.

You should also remember to bring your boarding pass with you if you print it out because Ryanair charges a €20 'Boarding Card Reissue Fee' to print it for you.

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.

For instance, countries like Morocco, Lebanon, and Israel don’t accept mobile boarding passes while those heading to Kefalonia Airport in Greece will also need the paper pass.

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.
