Ryanair checkin more than 15 days before flight?

Stoodles

I checked in 8 days beforehand for a Ryanair outward flight to an 11 day holiday. Their system allowed me to check in for the return flight at the same time, and I've printed boarding passes for it. But that flight was 19 days away, so fell outside their 15 day limit for checking in.

I can find no way to contact Ryanair to confirm the validity of the check-in for the return flight. I'm worried that although I think I've checked in, perhaps I haven't really.

All their regulations are still adamant that it is not possible to check-in more than 15 days in advance. When I used the Contact us form I just got another copy of the regulations back by automated return.

Has anyone else done this? Or does anyone know a way to contact Ryanair and get a non-automated response?

Thanks in anticipation for your wisdom!

It's normal. I find that online check-in usually opens 15-21 days before departure with Ryanair. If you have a boarding pass for your inbound flight, you're checked in.

Thanks - that's reassuring

If you have managed to print the boarding pass you are OK.
The opening of the online checkin seems to vary a bit, maybe its 'working' days or something ??
Don't bother trying to get in touch with them, you will just be wasting your time & MONEY !!

Possibly 15 days from start of booking. On RTN that would be first flight.

If you had booked as singles as we sometimes do to manipulate exch rate ,then it maybe wouldn't have allowed it.

If you want to double check , go into "manage my booking " on their website.

Gives you the options to see what you've already done.
