Ryanair passengers are being warned that they will not be able to check in for a period of time before their journey and that there will be a "no-go period" regarding check-ins during November. Ryanair's app and online platform will go down for maintenance and check-in portals will be down for 11 hours between 6pm on November 8 and 5am on November 9.
Travellers who don't check in beforehand and have to do it at the airport will be slapped with a fee of £55 (£30 for flights to Spain). You must also be sure to bring your boarding pass as Ryanair charges a £20 'Boarding Card Reissue Fee' to print it for you, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
An in-person check-in fee was first introduced back in 2007 but has since increased to £55. The airline tells customers to check in as early as possible via the app but some journeys do require a paper boarding pass to be printed. The countries Morocco, Lebanon and Israel don’t accept mobile boarding passes nor does Kefalonia Airport in Greece.
Flexi-plus ticket holders or passengers who have booked their seats are able to check in 60 days before their flight. All other travellers can check in 24 hours before they are expected to depart.
