Estimated Times at the Airport

The Bag Drop desks open at the latest 2 hours before the scheduled flight departure time and closes 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time unless you are notified otherwise before flight departure. Please check in your baggage as early as possible.

We recommend all passengers arrive at the check-in or bag drop desk at least 2 hours before they are due to fly. If you have booked through an Online Travel Agent, have been required to verify your booking, and wish to do so at the airport, please make sure you arrive at the airport 2 hours before your flight. For more details, please see here.

You must be at the boarding gate at least 30 minutes before your flight departure time.

Our check-in and bag drop desks open at the latest 2 hours before your scheduled flight departure and close strictly 40 minutes before your flight departure unless you are notified otherwise before flight departure. If you do not check-in by then you may be denied boarding without refund.

We recommend you check the departure airport website for security wait times. Each airport has different security times depending on the time of day and travel season.

Your boarding gate number will be displayed on our Day of Travel Assistant on the Ryanair App and on airport information screens.

You should be at the boarding gate at the latest 30 minutes before your flight is scheduled to depart. This is to prevent a delay to the flight and all other passengers who have boarded on time.

If you are late to the boarding gate or arrive after boarding has closed, you will not be allowed to board the aircraft.

Boarding gates for Ryanair flights close 30 minutes before departure.
