Ryanair, Europe's largest airline, is set to make a significant change to its boarding procedures this summer by eliminating printed boarding passes. The airline will transition to fully digital boarding passes by 2025, with a likely rollout as early as May. This digital shift will also see the removal of airport check-in desks. Travel expert Eoghan Corry warns of potential chaos for passengers unfamiliar with digital boarding passes.
Ryanair is preparing for a significant alteration in its passenger boarding procedures, slated for implementation this summer. Michael O'Leary, the airline's CEO, has announced plans to transition to fully digital boarding passes by 2025, with a likely rollout as early as May. This digital shift coincides with Ryanair 's intention to eliminate airport check-in desks. Travel expert Eoghan Corry has cautioned that these changes will have a substantial impact on travelers this summer.
Speaking to RSVP Live, he stated, 'There is one very big rule change and it's to do with boarding passes. Ryanair said they're not going to take printed boarding passes this summer.' He further expressed concern, 'I'm not sure what will happen. There will be absolute havoc when that takes effect.' Corry elaborated on the potential chaos, explaining, 'There are a lot of people still turning up with boarding passes. Ryanair says it's a very small proportion, less than 20%, but it's still 20%. So when they say no more printed boarding passes, there is going to be havoc.' Currently, Ryanair's website provides guidance stating: 'You can access your boarding pass on the Ryanair App once you have checked in. You do not need to print your boarding pass once you have access to the Ryanair App unless you are departing from a Moroccan airport.' It also warns, 'If you do not have access to a printer, we can print it for you at the check-in desk, but you will be charged a boarding card reissue fee for each passenger. See our Table of Fees.' Ryanair's Table of Fees outlines various charges, including a €20 fee for re-issuing boarding cards and an airport check-in fee, listed at €55, or alternatively €30 when flying from Spain. This check-in charge applies to each passenger and for every individual flight segment. However, for Flexi Plus passengers or Plus passengers who have made bookings post 11 December 2019, this service comes without charge.To obtain a digital boarding pass, travelers are instructed to use either the Ryanair.com website or the airline's mobile app. The website details the process: 'Once you are logged in, select check-in and enter your travel document details.' Further instructions underscore the importance of personal completion of the check-in procedure, as stated on the website: 'For your safety and security, and for the safety and security of your fellow passengers and our crew, the check-in process must be completed by you personally, by a passenger on your booking, or by an individual with personal knowledge of you and of the contents of your luggage.' This step ensures compliance with safety and health protocols mandated by authorities such as ICAO Technical Instructions, Regulation (EU) 2015/1998, and the EASA/ECDC Covid-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol. More updates regarding changes to boarding pass procedures are expected from Ryanair.
