Ryan Air Online check in

FatDickie

Ok It's 2 weeks before I fly out of gatwick.

I have gone online and printed my outward travel boarding passes.

Although the return flights are mentioned, there is no facility to print boarding passes for the return flights (although they are in 3 weeks time)

Do I need to wait until 15 days before the return flight before being able to print the return boarding passes?

If this is so, what would happen if someone were to go away for 15 days? How would they print their passes for the return flight?


Second question, has anyone flown Ryanair from Gatwick? They are meant to have a drop of point for checked in bags. I read in another thread that heathrow doesn't yet have this sorted and you are still required to queue up at the normal desk.

Does the same go for Gatwick?

Cheers

Yes, wait 15 days, get the hotel to print em off for you or go to the internet cafe when you are away.

Ryanair bag drop points are check in desks, with queues, without issuing boarding cards, and highly unlikely to be fast, so get there early.

Thanks for that richardw

I'll be able to print the return ones off next week then.

I'm glad I read this as I presumed (quite wrongly) I would only be online checking in when leaving uk. I bet they get a lot of people with that one and extra charges for them of course.

That's your fault for presuming that Ryanair does return flights.

They state quite clearly that their flights are to be considered solely as 'point-to-point' and not as anything else.

Anyone incapable of finding a facility in which to print their passes can do so at the airport for the small fee of 40 pounds each.

Just got back from a trip to Spain yesterday. Booked Ryan Air flights in February and paid for airport check-in for both outward and return flights Newcastle to Gerona. Stood at Newcastle and checked in as normal and was issued boarding cards (check in queues were horrendous, lots of people charged for being over 15 kgs). In queue first at Gerona, was told to go and print boarding cards off at self-service machine in airport, no desk issuing of boarding cards available. Luckily allowed back to front of queue once printed. Just a word of warning that airports abroad seem to have imposed straight away even though I had booked flights before May 20th.
