Ryanair return boarding pass

I am taking a 3 week holiday in Tenerife flying with Ryanair.

Does anyone know how to get your RETURN BOARDING PASS.

With it being 3 weeks I am assuming I will need to get them printed there or is there anyway I can get them before I go.

    You can get them printed before you go I think, just log into your user section on the ryanair website and there should be a link to check into both outbound AND return flights and print off both sets of tickets.

    Not sure if there is a time limit? ( e.g. only print 2 weeks before? )

    Maybe better off asking on the Flights section of the Travel Board

    No you can't, the return date is too far in the future. Some friends had this when they went away for 3weeks. There are two options, find a computer when over there and print them out. Or pay €40 at the airport.

    Sort of. They call it an admin fee. You can technically avoid it if you have a pre-paid Mastercard, but I doubt many people do.

    Are you sure about that, because I was sat next to them when they tried. You simplycant do it until check in opens. I was also there when they phoned Ryanair and were told the only options were to pay or print nearer the time.

    So unless Ryanair have changed their procedure in the last 4 weeks I believe you are mistaken.

    The official time is up to fifteen days before the flight, however check in is often available earlier. I can currently check in for a booking in May.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Ryanair's view is that there is no charge for actually printing out the boarding cards yourself (I think even Micheal O'Leary would have trouble explaining that this was a fair charge if put that way). The €6 charge apparently is a check-in charge introduced after they stopped checking in at the airport.

    Even so I think the charge shouldn't be added on to the advertised price of the flight at payment time since its a compulsary charge for everyone.

    Fair enough if it was an optional charge like the type of card you pay with. You have the option to pay with a prepay mastercard and avoid the charges levied with other cards. When they had check-in desks they charged €10 but you at that time had the option of checking in online for free.

    Since it is a mandatory charge Ryanair should be made add that charge to the advertised ticket price. However the sad truth is that since Ryanair is one of the few profitable airlines, governments know that Mr O'Leary is quite capable of withdrawing services at the drop of a hat like he did with Belfast if he doesn't get things his way.

    Jet2 do the same, I think it's disgusting. You can't NOT check in for a flight in some way so it should be part of the advertised price.
