Overview
- Printed boarding passes are no longer accepted, with boarding now conducted via the myRyanair app after online check-in.
- Travellers who checked in online but lose phone access or run out of battery will be given a free paper pass at the airport, according to Ryanair.
- Passengers who arrive without having checked in online must use airport check-in and pay the standard fee.
- Local rules still require paper in some locations, including Morocco and select airports in Albania and Turkey, where printed passes are issued after online check-in.
- Ryanair cites lower costs, reduced paper use and real-time in-app updates and services, while campaigners warn of accessibility issues and potential teething problems.
