Passengers who are due to fly on Wednesday evening must check-in online before 7pm.

While the maintenance is ongoing, customers will be unable to make bookings, change flight detail, check-in online or carry out any other actions when it comes to planning a trip.

Ryanair said: "Due to scheduled maintenance, the Ryanair website / app will be temporarily unavailable from 19:00hr GMT on Wednesday, 23rd March for a number of hours.

"Customers who are due to fly must check-in online before Wednesday, 23rd March 19:00hr GMT.

"Customers who wish to make bookings, flight changes / name changes, online check-in and all other aspects regarding a flight booking will be unable to do so during this period of maintenance."

According to its terms of service, Ryanair's check-in policy provides that "all customers can check-in online, free of charge, up to 2 hours before the scheduled flight departure.

Airport check-in is available but charges will apply.

Customers who have not checked in online will encounter an airport check-in fee, which is £/€55 (for flights from Spain €/£ 30) per passenger.

If you have checked in but you have not printed your boarding pass, you will be charged for the boarding pass reissue fee, which is £/€20 per passenger.

This means that people who do not check-in on time for their Wednesday evening flight could be in line for big fees if forced to check-in at the airport instead.
