Ryanair Sets Nov. 3 Switch to App-Only Boarding Passes

Ryanair promises free airport reprints for customers checked in online who lose phone access.

Overview

  • Passengers must check in online and present boarding passes in the myRyanair app, with printed passes rejected after the deadline.
  • CEO Michael O’Leary says staff can confirm check-in via sequence numbers and board travellers even if a phone battery fails.
  • The airline projects about 300 tonnes of annual paper savings and says the shift will remove almost all airport check-in fees.
  • National rules still govern some routes, with Morocco requiring paper for now and Albania slated to accept digital passes from March.
  • The boarding-pass reissue charge becomes free on Nov. 3, though separate penalties for late or airport check-in still apply.
