From November 12, 2025, Ryanair will switch to 100% digital boarding passes via their app, eliminating paper passes to reduce costs, improve service, and benefit the environment. Passengers must check in online, and those who don't will incur an airport check-in fee.
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
All Ryanair passengers will still receive email reminders to check-in online 48 and 24hrs predeparture. If any passenger arrives at airport but hasn’t checked-in online (having ignored these reminders), they will still be required to pay the airport check-in fee. |
