Ryanair Moves to App-Only Boarding Passes Starting Nov. 12

The airline touts a quicker, greener process through its myRyanair app.

Overview

  • From November 12, passengers can no longer download or print boarding passes and must present a digital pass in the myRyanair app to board.
  • Ryanair says over 80% of customers already use digital passes and it set the start date for a traditionally quieter travel period after the mid‑term break.
  • Travelers without a working smartphone can receive a free boarding pass at the airport if they have completed online check-in before arriving.
  • Paper passes will still be issued where airports do not accept digital passes, including some locations in Albania and Morocco, after online check-in.
  • The airline highlights in‑app features such as real‑time updates and onboard ordering, while travel commentators warn the rollout could confuse some passengers.
