Ryan Air Boarding Passes

[Jennykenny]

I have never flown with RA but how many weeks/days/hours before the flight can you print the out and return boarding passes?

[DTCwordfan]

easyjet is 30 days and when you go on, they tell you exactly when you can print them out.....I have two to do tomorrow.

7 days if you haven't pre-booked a seat.

But Ryanair are different, DT....

I am pretty sure it tells you on your booking email.
I am also pretty sure that it depends whether you want to pay for a seat or wait until you have one allocated to you.....if you buy one, you can check in and print out sooner than if you don't pay and wait for allocation.

[DTCwordfan]

correct lady a and your point about buying a seat is true as well and may well apply to easyjet. Do Ryan still send the collection bag around to add to the Vatican's funds?

[ChillDoubt]

Wouldn't bother printing them, just use them on the smartphone app, I always do with Ryanair and Sleazyjet.

[ummmm]

What's that DT?

[DTCwordfan]

Ryanair aka 'The Pope's Airline'.....

[ummmm]

Still don't understand your meaning.

[DTCwordfan]

on their very first flights, Knock to Lourdes and return, they used to ask for donations....

[ummmm]

Was that actually Ryanair or just the first flights from Knock?

Knock is my fav airport :-)

[DTCwordfan]

which came first, the egg or the chicken, being more serious, Ryanair. (Not my fav airline as everytime I have flown them, esp Stansted to Cork, I've had long delays).

[Jennykenny]

Thanks. Reason I asked is a good friend who comes to stay with me in the UK always leaves his printing out to the night before he flies and my printer is not reliable. I find it really stressful. Why can't he print it at home (??).

[ChillDoubt]

Why can't he just use the app? I'm often amazed when I see how many people have got reams of paperwork in their teeth at a check in desk. Some of us just look at each other with our smart phones, give a nod and a smirk and proceed straight to the security gate!

No printing required!!

[ummmm]

Not everyone has a smart phone. I don't even have a phone at the moment.

Confirming what the paper bearers already thought about you.

People do seem to prefer paper boarding passes. On a 747 full of people you might see half a dozen with their details on their mobile. I myself tend to print off a paper pass when I travel. I have looked at Ryanair`s site (which doesn`t seem to be very informative) and it looks like you can print out the pass up to 2 hours before departure. After all, some people book flights at the last minute so they would be a bit stuffed if they couldn`t print off their pass.

[douglas9401]

Sorry, I forgot to put a smirky face.

[ChillDoubt]

What, that we're organised AND thinking of our carbon footprint douglas? LOL

ummmm, you'll soon join the 21st century......

[237SJ]

If you were worried about your carbon footprint, you wouldn`t be flying ;-)

[ummmm]

Chill....I had an iphone. Waiting for a new one.
