Has anyone flown to Spain with RyanAir in the last week or so.  If so can you tell us what is required to fly.  We are fully vaccinated and have our certificates and we know we have to fill in a passenger locator form.  Are there any Covid tests that need to be taken before, during and after the visit?

    Ryanair dont set the requirements - Spain do.

    The FCO page for Spain has all the details. Just be aware that there have been tales on these boards of Ryanair NOT accepting mobile phone copies of any documents, which is a bit of a pain when abroad and you arent able to do things until 48 hours before you return, so do bear this in mind.
  • Thanks for that Emma, I should have been clearer.  We know whats required for Spain itself, but its what Ryanair require we're not sure of.  
    Some info says they require a fit to fly certificate that includes a pcr or antigen test between 24 and 72 hours  before flying, other info says they go by what's required by Spain.  Ryanair are very unhelpful other than to say, get it wrong and you don't fly.
  • No, you dont need a test to fly Ryanair.

    Michael O'Leary has been rather vocal about the cost of testing, the last thing he is going to implement on his own airline is a requirement to pay through the nose for a PCR (or other) test just to board it.
    Specific country entry requirements he cant do much about, though.
  • Thanks everyone, we spent hours on the Ryanair website and got nowhere.  Wish I'd thought of posting this earlier.

    Ryanair use the same requirements as the country you are flying to.

    You're right to ask however, as some airlines are not doing so and are requiring additional testing as a condition of carriage.

    Does that mean pax can go without masks on Ryanair inbound to the UK ?

    I meant regarding immigration requirements.

    As Ryanair have been clear, masks are mandatory on all flights, refunds are optional on cancelled flights.

    TBF you can get away with without wearing one (or wearing one properly) for over half the flight, if longer, if you are creative. I would hate to promote such behaviour though.
