Ryanair check-in fees

Autumnella

Does anyone know if Ryanair still charge a fee if you don't check-in online? I know they used to charge about £60 to check in at the airport but not sure if they've scrapped that now and it's not clear on their website.

Yes you MUST check in online or incur a fee. Unless you are a Business Plus passenger. This is from the Terms and Conditions on the website. Sorry it's a bit long....

Article 6 - Check-in, boarding & seating
6.1 All flights operate with allocated seating, we reserve the right to assign or reassign seats at any time, even after boarding of the aircraft. This may be necessary for operational, safety or security reasons.
6.2 All passengers are required to check-in online via https://www.ryanair.com/ and print or download a boarding pass except Business Plus fares which include free airport check-in (for more information on the use of mobile boarding passes click here),
Online check-in opens 30 days before each scheduled flight departure time for customers who purchase an allocated seat. Customers can be allocated a seat free of charge if they check-in online between 7 days and 2 hours before each booked flight. If you are travelling with young children and chose not to select and purchase a seat and have been allocated seats which are not together please contact our call centre so that we may try to assist you, alternatively click here to chat with an agent.

Once a passenger has checked in online they can reprint or download their boarding pass up to two (2) hours before each scheduled flight departure time. Each Boarding Pass must be printed and presented on an individual A4 page or accessed via the Ryanair app .Customers who fail to check-in online within the above deadlines (except Business Plus customers) will be charged an Airport Check-In fee at the rate set out in our Consolidated Table of Fees. Customers who do not present a boarding pass at the airport (paper or mobile) will be charged a Boarding Pass Re-Issue fee at rate set out in our Consolidated Table of Fees
Effective from September 2016 for an adult travelling with children under 12 (excl. infants) – it will become mandatory for one adult in the booking to reserve a seat. All children under 12 in the same booking will receive a reserved seat free of charge. This ensures parents and young children sit together during the flight. This will also allow you to check-in for your flight 30 days before departure. It will not be mandatory for any other adults or teenagers in the booking ro reserve a seat, however they may choose to do so.
6.3 If you fail to present a valid Boarding Pass (paper or mobile) at airport security or at the boarding gate and there is sufficient time to re-issue you with an alternative form of Boarding Pass, you will be charged a Boarding Pass re-issue fee at the rate set out in our Consolidated Table of Fees. All passengers departing from Moroccan airports must present their paper Boarding Pass at the local airport check-in facility.
