Digital Boarding Pass

Ryanair are moving to 100% Digital Boarding Passes (DBP) from 12 Nov 2025. This means from Wed 12 Nov, all passengers will receive a DBP to their Ryanair App when they check-in online as paper boarding passes will no longer be issued. Online check-in can be completed on Ryanair.com or on the Ryanair App.

Why this change?

• DBP lowers airport costs and fares for all Ryanair passengers.

• Provides a better service (including flight info) for customers on day of travel.

• Improves customer service and re-booking during flight disruptions.

• Better for our environment (gets rid of 300 tonnes of paper annually). 

How does it work? 

• Check-in online on Ryanair.com or Ryanair App prior to arriving at airport.

• After check-in your DBP will appear automatically in your Ryanair App.

• Present your DBP at airport security & at the boarding gate for your flight.

• Hassle free travel – quicker, easier, less stress, zero paper. 

Airport Check-In

If you have already checked-in online and your smartphone or tablet is lost, you will receive a free of charge boarding pass at the airport.

If you have already checked-in online and your smartphone or tablet dies, you will receive a free of charge boarding pass at the airport.

If you have already checked-in online and you lose your smartphone or tablet (or it dies), your details are already on our system and you will be assisted at the gate.

If passengers don’t have a smartphone or tablet, as long as they have already checked-in online before arriving at the airport, they will receive a free of charge boarding pass at the airport. However, they will not be able to access real-time flight updates or benefit from enhanced customer service during any flight disruptions.
