If you wish to receive your documents via the post then please note that a charge may be applicable.

It is advisable, where possible, to use the airline’s online check-in facility and print off any applicable boarding passes prior to departure, as failure to do this will result in charges at the airport.

If your airline is not one of the above, we would suggest that you go direct to the website of the airline you are travelling with and locate the online check-in section. You should then follow the instructions on screen.

If you have received an email from us (usually within 5 days from booking) regarding Ryanair check-in, please refer to that email and follow carefully the instructions provided on there. If you have not received a separate email from us regarding Ryanair check-in, please follow the steps outlined below.

How can I check in, and is it free of charge?

Online check-in before arriving at the airport is mandatory and free of charge. Passengers, who do not complete online check-in will be required to pay a fee of approximately £55 per person, per flight to check in at the airport. We will not be liable for any such charges. We therefore strongly recommend completing online check-in in advance. Please note that the airport check-in fee is set by Ryanair and may change at any time without prior notice.

When can I check in online?

• From 60 days prior to departure – if you have pre-reserved a seat.
• From 24 hours prior to departure – if you have not pre-reserved a seat, in which case seats will be assigned randomly.
• Online check-in closes 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.

How do I check in online?

Please follow the steps below carefully to complete your online check-in and generate your boarding passes. If you have received a separate email from us regarding Ryanair check in, please follow the instructions in that email instead.

Step 1 – Locate your booking

We recommend completing this step on a PC or laptop using a browser such as Google Chrome, rather than on a mobile or tablet.

Go to Ryanair.com and log out of any personal account you may be signed into (if applicable).

Click on [My Bookings] in the top right-hand corner of the main page.

On the next screen, you will see two options: [Log in] and [Reservation number]. Please select the [Reservation number] option:

The [Reservation Number] is your Airline check-in reference, which can be found on your Travel Vouchers and Tickets document. This was sent to you as an attachment in your Final Travel Documents email from us.

Under [Email address] please enter the email address you used when confirming your booking with us, then click [Retrieve your booking]. If this step is completed successfully, after clicking [Retrieve your booking], you will see an image of your airport destination and a summary of your flight details in the bottom left corner of the image as shown below. If you successfully retrieve your booking, please jump to Step 2 below.

If you are unable to retrieve your flight booking - meaning the screen does not display an image of your destination and a summary of your flight details in the bottom-left corner - please note that there is no issue with your booking. In some rare cases, we may need to use our own reservation email address to book your Ryanair flights. This is why you may not be able to retrieve the booking using your own email address. If your flight was reserved using our email address, you will receive a separate email from us shortly after booking (usually within 5 days from booking) containing specific check-in instructions, including the email address used to create your booking. If you have received such email from us then, please discontinue using the steps in this FAQ but follow carefully the instructions in that email instead.

Step 2 – Link your flight booking to your Ryanair account

After completing Step 1 and retrieving your booking successfully, you will need your own Ryanair account in order to link your booking to it.

If you already have a Ryanair account, select the [Log in] tab on the screen. Enter the email address and password associated with your own Ryanair account, then click [Log in]. Your booking will then be automatically linked to your account.

If you do not have a Ryanair account, select the [Sign up] tab to create one. Enter the email address and password you would like to use, then click [Create Account]. Your new account will be created, and your booking will be automatically linked to it.

Step 3 – Complete the online check-in process

Once your flight booking has been successfully linked to your Ryanair account, follow the on-screen steps and instructions to complete the online check-in.

Online check-in is available: from 60 days prior to departure – if you have pre-reserved seats. And from 24 hours prior to departure – if you have not pre-reserved seats, in which case the seats will be assigned randomly when you check in. Online check-in closes 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Digital Boarding Passes - important information

From 12 November 2025, Ryanair will transition to Digital Boarding Passes via the Ryanair app. This means that from that date, all passengers must access and use their Digital Boarding Passes in the Ryanair app - printed/paper boarding passes will no longer be used.

Exceptions: If you are flying back to the UK from Albania, Morocco, or Turkey (except Dalaman Airport), digital boarding passes cannot be used. Passengers departing from these airports must check in online in advance and present a printed boarding pass at the airport.

Step 4 – Access and use your Digital Boarding Passes

Steps 1–3 above should be completed successfully by the lead passenger.

Following that, if you don’t have it yet, download the official Ryanair app on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, which you are planning on taking on holiday.

Open the app and sign in to your existing Ryanair account. You may be asked to complete your profile or choose to skip this step.

If all previous steps have been completed correctly, your booking will appear on the Home tab under [Your Upcoming Trip], which you can tap to open.

You can also access your Digital Boarding Passes directly from the Home tab in the app by clicking on [Boarding Passes].

Travelling with other passengers on the same booking

After the lead passenger has completed the online check-in for all travellers, all Digital Boarding Passes will be accessible within the Ryanair app on the lead passenger’s device. The rest of the passengers can travel on the lead passenger device and digital boarding passes, but this may be risky and therefore not recommended, especially if different party members may arrive at the airport at different times or spend their airside time separately and decide to board the aircraft separately.

If other passengers wish to access their own boarding passes on their own devices, they will need to:

• Ensure the lead passenger has already completed the online check-in successfully for the party
• Follow Steps 1 and 2 above. Then have the Ryanair app downloaded and follow Step 4 as outlined above.

What if I don’t have a smartphone or tablet, or my device battery runs out at the airport?

Providing you have already completed online check-in in advance but cannot access your digital boarding pass (for example, due to a lost device or a dead battery), please approach the Ryanair check-in desk at the airport. The staff will assist you by printing a copy of your boarding pass. From 12 November 2025, this service will be free of charge as long as you have already checked in online. If you have not checked-in online, a fee of approximately £55 per person, per flight will apply. (Fee amount subject to change by Ryanair without prior notice.)

If your device fails after passing security but before boarding, Ryanair staff will assist you at the gate, provided your booking is in their system. The same applies if you do not own a smartphone or a tablet.

What if the airport has poor Wi-Fi?

Once you have checked in online and accessed your Digital Boarding Passes in the Ryanair app in advance, they will remain available offline within the app. You will then be able to display them even without an internet connection.

Failure to do so may result in your transfer not being provided, for which we will accept no liability.

In order to obtain the inbound pick-up time for your transfer, you will need to contact the supplier directly, as they do not provide us with these details. Please use the telephone number provided on your travel voucher. You will need to contact the transfer company at least 48 hours prior to your return travel date.

Certain countries/cities impose additional taxes and charges such as a tourist or city tax, or compulsory resort fees. These additional fees are payable directly to your accommodation and is for maintenance of local facilities and services. These taxes cannot be collected by us in advance. You are responsible for paying these taxes/charges locally prior to checking out and they are subject to change by the overseas governments. Unless otherwise stated, they are not included in your booking. We accept no liability for these taxes or charges.

For UK customers, the information for all countries can be found on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) website, www.fco.gov.uk. Airlines and tour operators will usually use the guidelines of the FCO regarding travel to and from particular countries. The website will also advise you of any warnings that may have been issued.

For ROI customers, the information is found on the Department of Foreign Affairs website,https://www.dfa.ie

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK WITH THE EMBASSY/CONSULATE OF THE COUNTRY TO BE VISITED FOR ANY ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURE THAT YOU ADHERE TO THESE.

The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention recently launched an optional electronic service for travellers who need to carry controlled and psychotropic medicines and wish to avoid processing at the airport. His Excellency Dr. Amin Hussein Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health Policy and Licensing, said: “Such services are available in many developed countries across the world and the approval requirements have been in existence in the UAE for more than 20 years, but was previously done through email or upon arrival at the airport. The only change now is that this service is also available fully electronically for those who seek to leverage the convenience. It is not mandatory and travellers will continue to have the option of declaring these medicines and sharing the related medical reports with customs upon arrival to the UAE.”

Should you require any assistance at the airport, e.g., you are a wheelchair user; please advise our staff prior to departure. This is a free service. Some airlines/airports will require medical evidence or a medical form to be completed, but our dedicated general enquiries team can assist you with this process.

If you, or any member of your party, have an allergy, e.g.; nut allergy, you must make our staff aware of this at confirmation stage or by adding a note in the special request section of the order. Alternatively, please contact our general enquiries team with full details so that they can assist you with this.

This is dependent on the circumstances of your refund. In most cases, due to the security and reconciliation process to which your monies pass through, this may take up to 21 working days. Should your refund be due to an operator collapse, this will be subject to the policies and procedures put in place by the CAA and/or the tour operator responsible for your holiday.

Should you not follow the above process you may lose the right to any compensation or complaint upon return to the UK as this will deny the Supplier and ourselves the opportunity to rectify your problem whilst in resort.

You, any member of your party, or any person acting for you must not make false or exaggerated claims.

We will manage the complaint on your behalf and a letter of acknowledgment will be sent to you within 28 days of receiving your grievance, following which you should allow a period of a further 60 days in order that we can make necessary investigations into the same. Should responses not be forthcoming from the supplier(s) or we remain dissatisfied with the response(s) we have received, we will inform you accordingly of any extra time that may be required in order to fully respond to you. Please note that this clause is only intended to benefit you, as we require full and detailed responses to any issues raised, which in peak occupancy season becomes problematic for the supplier(s) to respond within our normal and required timeframe.

Awareness & Measures

In response to the Coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), each country has implemented their own Health and Safety measures and precautions in an attempt to combat the spread of the disease. It is expected that specific regions and resorts have also introduced their own Health and Safety measures in line with government advice, depending on their capacity and ability to take certain precautions. It is your responsibility to check and make yourself aware of the measures that are currently in place at the destination you are travelling to, as well as the region and the resort you are staying at as you must adhere to these additional measures.

It may the case in some countries that certain measures are mandatory and it is therefore essential that you and your party comply with and respect and all local health and safety measures throughout the duration of your stay as you could face penalties for failing to do so. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, social distancing, the use of face masks in public places and the use of gloves in supermarkets and other indoor places.

Furthermore, as a result of these government advice and/or regulations that have been introduced, it may mean that certain amenities or facilities are not operational and temporarily closed during your stay including but not limited to, indoor swimming pools, spa facilities, nightclubs etc.
