Ryanair advance passenger information still required?

I just booked a Ryanair flight to Spain and was not asked to provide Advance Passenger Information. I can find no reference to it anywhere on their website, and the relevant link has disappeared. Is it no longer required?

    it's changed now in that you provide this information when you check in online which you can do from 15 days before departure.

    I printed off boarding passes for a Ryanair flight next Sunday a few days ago and have today received an e-mail from them telling me I must check in online. Does the act of printing boarding passes not mean I am already checked in? Thoroughly confused or is this some scam to get me to ring some expensive phone number to get the information off them?

    Oh dear. :rotfl:How embarrassing for you.

    Anyway, if you take care to actually read the email it says:

    (Emphasis given to the relevant parts)
    Check-In for your Flight Now

    Please ignore this email if you have already checked in online and printed your boarding pass.

    Ryanair’s online check-in service is available from 15 days up to 4 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure time(s). If both your outbound and return flights are within the 15 day period, at the time you check-in online then both boarding passes can be printed simultaneously.

    Happy flightings.
