You need your confirmation number and credit/debit card number or your email address and date of flight then click on Online Check In. Input either of the options and it will bring up your booking. You'll need to have to hand your passport and the passport details of all passengers travelling on your booking as it will ask you to input passport number, expiry date etc. Just follow the instructions and print out both journeys at the same time. Sometimes the website can be busy although I've never found it bad through the day but I generally do the check in 3/4 days before the flight.

Having your boarding pass means you just go straight to the gate, in Dublin this means bypassing all the check in desks and heading for the very back of the hall to go through security and then the shops and departure gates. I can recommend a hot chocolate in Butlers Chocolate Cafe before you head to your gate, there is a 10 minute walk from this point to the Ryan Air gates.

On arrival at Dublin to the left hand side of the exit you'll find a Dublin Bus booth where you can buy a Family Rambler Day ticket for 10 Euros (you don't require kids to be a family) this ticket will cover your return journey on the Airport Express bus, 747/748 and any bus you use throughout the day but not the tour buses.

Do a search of Dublin on the travel board and you'll find lots of suggestions of things to do, its a lovely city for a day trip, I'm going again on Monday.:j

Thank You. That's awesome. I've never done this Check Online before as I've only been on a place once and that was a few weeks ago when i went to Spain.. and that was through a travel agent so check in at the airport.

That's brilliant. Thanks.

Thanks for the very comprehensive information you have posted regarding Online Checkin and information about Dublin/Airport. I know that long walk very well to get to the gate!

I am sure many folk reading this thread will appreciate it.

Due the number of browsers people can use plus the different versions it's impossible for an IT team to check that their site is compatible with every single one.

What normally happens is the site is checked with versions of IE, a stable version of firefox and maybe with text readers.

In decent companies when a few non-disabled customers complain they can't access the site with a different browser and browser version the site is then checked with that browser and browser version.

It's not economically viable for a company to check that their site works with every single browser and version of that browser as there a lots of browsers out there, and while you can gather statistics on what your customers use they are not that accurate. It's also not economically viable to change the site for one non-disabled customer's complaint.

If you think Ryanair are not on the ball then maybe you would prefer them like a few other companies to state their website works best with browsers and versions that are so old that they are obsolete. So if the site doesn't work then tough.

I managed to check websites I have done with i.e., firefox, opera and safari usually, most other browsers out there are i.e. or Mozilla variants anyway. It doesn’t take that long and in a company with the traffic that Ryanair gets you are going to get a few variables. I did say they could fix it once the problem shows; Firefox is used by 28% of European market so it's not an insubstantial amount. FF3 was the biggest legal download ever on its launch day. If I was running It support for someone I would have been checking everything was kosher as soon as I got hold of a copy, maybe even at beta, and if I was selling through a site and losing business because of problems with something that has 1/4 of the market share I would want an explanation.
