This might be a stupid question!

In roughly 2 weeks, myself and a friend are going to Spain, and we are travelling with Ryanair.

I just need to make sure what it is you actually need to get the flight..
Is it the confirmed reservation number? plus ur passport??

Ive never been on a Ryanair flight and never been on a flight where the tickets weren't sent to you! hehe

Thankyou!

p.s. forgot to mention, it was booked on the 2nd April so we can get the Airport Check in which we have paid for!

    You need to go to Manage My Booking on the Ryan Air website first.

    https://www.bookryanair.com/SkySales/FRManageBooking.aspx?culture=EN-GB&lc=EN-GB

    From there you print out your boarding pass for both flights up to 15 days before departure, this you need to take with you along with your passport, both will be needed to get through passport control and then again at the Ryan Air gate for your flight.

    It's not a bad idea to take a printout of the reservation but in practice they usually just look at your passport and find the reservation from there.

    Allow plenty of time as there won't be many check-in desks and there could be long queues.

    If you're taking checked baggage:
    If there is a queue, it's a good idea to see if there are any unused check-in desks nearby and weigh your baggage. Ryanair is very strict about weight limits so it's a good idea to make sure your luggage is within limits before you go to the check-in desk. Remember that you and your friend have 15kg each, NOT 30kg between you (i.e. you can't share your allowance).

    The OP said that they are going to check in at the airport, not online.

    Thankyou for all your replies.

    Im guessing I dont have to print off the boarding card then seeing as im checking in at the airport.

    Yeh going to take a copy of the reservation number because im always wary of things going wrong!! haha

    We are trying desperately to make sure we have weight left so we dont go over and currently are bags weigh 10 and 13 kg so we are okay! hehe x

    Thanks
