Online check-in is mandatory at Ryanair: checking in at the airport desk costs a substantial fee, while doing it online is free. Check-in opens 24 hours before departure (up to 60 days with paid seat selection) and closes 2 hours before the flight.

  1. Open ryanair.com or the Ryanair app and go to Check-in.
  2. Enter your booking reference and email.
  3. Select passengers, confirm travel documents.
  4. Download or print your boarding pass - a digital pass in the app is accepted at most airports.

Arrive at the gate with your boarding pass ready; airport kiosks charge a check-in fee.
