Ryanair Sets November 3 Switch to App-Only Boarding Passes

The airline cites paper savings alongside real-time disruption updates via its app.

Overview

  • From 3 November, passengers must use the myRyanair app to check in and present a digital boarding pass, ending downloadable and printable passes.
  • Michael O’Leary says a paper pass will be reissued at the airport free of charge if a passenger has checked in before arriving.
  • Ryanair says the boarding pass reissue fee will drop to £0 from 3 November, while travellers who fail to check in online currently face up to £55 to check in at the airport.
  • Country rules still apply, with Morocco requiring printed passes and Albania set to permit digital passes from March after an agreement with authorities.
  • The CEO reports 85–90% of customers already arrive with smartphones, as concerns persist about older or less tech-confident passengers.
