How to easily check in on a Ryanair flight?
Online check-in? The airline Ryanair has made this procedure compulsory for several years. A way for the company to avoid queues at the airport which could hinder the proper management of its flights.
The Irish low-cost airline emphasizes that this is a free service for passengers, allowing them to obtain their boarding pass in one click and guaranteeing being seated together for families and groups.
At check-in, passengers can also change their seat choices or add additional checked baggage.

Last time to check in for a Ryanair flight
At ryanair, this service opens 24 hours before the flight, and passengers traveling from Morocco can check in their flights up to 2 hours before departure.
Check-in in advance online?
Yes, Ryanair offers its passengers choosing paid seats (seat with more legroom, window side, or seat located at the front of the cabin…), to check-in their flights and obtain their boarding passes up to 60 days before departure.
Check-in at the airport for a fee
In order to minimize queues at the airport, which often cause significant delays on flights, Ryanair has decided to charge a fee for its airport check-in service.
The amount charged is estimated at €55 for passengers who have not completed online check-in, and €30 for the check-in of unaccompanied minors.
Traveling with checked baggage
If you have baggage to check-in, drop it off at the airport directly at the dedicated drop-off counters. Ryanair staff will label your suitcases and take care of checking them in.
After check-in: Get a digital boarding pass
From now on, Ryanair passengers will be required to present a digital boarding pass to access their flight. The low-cost airline is thus putting an end to the use of printed cards.
Passengers will now have to download their card directly from the company’s mobile application or via the website, and present it on their smartphone when going through controls and at the boarding gate.
Traveling from Morocco: Print your boarding pass
Currently, the digital boarding pass is not accepted on Ryanair flights served from Morocco, so passengers must still print their boarding passes after checking in for their flight.
Name change
Sometimes, the passenger may have to modify or correct their name either because of a typing error or because of a change in their family situation: marriage, divorce, etc. (for women only)
– Before check-in
Fortunately, Ryanair allows changes to first and last names before flight check-in is confirmed, free of charge if it is a minor error correction (maximum 3 characters to add/change/replace).
Otherwise, for complete name changes, this operation is possible for a fee of up to €115 if the change is made online and €160 if the passenger chooses to do it at the airport.
– After check-in
In such a situation, the passenger no longer has the possibility of making the modification themselves. First he must cancel his initial check-in, then use a Ryanair agent to request assistance, either at a dedicated office or at the airport.
