Warning. Ryanair's cutting its free check-in window from 1 Nov
Wednesday, October 19, 2016 @ 8:27 AM
With Ryanair, the golden rule is to ALWAYS check in online and print or download your boarding pass – if you don't, you could have to cough up £45 per person, per flight. Yet Ryanair's just changed its T&Cs so for flights departing from 1 Nov, you'll only be able to check in for free up to four days in advance (it's currently up to seven days).
The people this hits are those that would check-in between four and seven days in advance, particularly those going away for a week who want to sort it all before they go. If that's you, consider using the app (see below for info).
Ryanair passengers can choose between paying for a seat – it's typically between £8 and £15 per person – or not paying and being randomly allocated seating.
- If you pay for a seat, you can check in for free up to 30 days before flying. This isn't changing.
- If you don't pay for a seat, you can currently check in for free between two hours and seven days before departure. However for anyone checking in from Tue 1 Nov, this is changing to between two hours and four days before departure. See the Ryanair cuts free check-in window MSE News story for more info.
