Airport check-in and bag drop close 60 minutes out from Nov 10, 2026
From Tuesday 10 November 2026, Ryanair airport check-in and bag drop close 60 minutes before scheduled departure, up from 40 minutes. Online check-in still closes 2 hours before.
What to do: Use the cutoff that applies to your travel date.
- Worth knowing
Visa-document verification must be done before check-in closes
If required travel-document verification has not been attempted before the online check-in window closes, airport check-in and its fee can apply. Verifying successfully in the app produces a boarding pass and no fee; three failed attempts returning a rejection or scan error allow airport verification without the fee.
What to do: Verify documents in the myRyanair app early, and keep the result.
