Seven days check in Ryanair

cobham

I have a return flight to Dublin c 9pm next Monday night. Can I checkin/print boarding pass anytime today or do I have to wait till after 9pm tonight?

I know I could check in with App when away but do not want to upset elderly phone with extra function so not installed.

6 25 am flight out of Dublin in the morning, would arriving at front door of airport at 5 15 be cutting it fine? I recall years back that there was a Q at the front door, never mind about security! I try and avoid holiday time travel and that early flight but needs must this time.

I'm not sure about check in, why not give it a test?

As for arrival time at the airport. I regularly get flights at that time in the morning and would aim to get to the airport between 5.15 - 5.30 (rental car arrival 5.00 - 5.15). That still leaves a bit of sitting around time after security.

Thanks for that. Yes I suppose I will do a test run.... had this issue before and cant remember. I won't have access to a printer when away. Next smartphone will have the app I suppose. I think once you have it, you can't print off paper boarding pass instead? Still prefer to have bit of paper with passport...I dont trust phone to run out of juice/misbehave/be lost. I save a pdf copy on laptop at home and that is bit of back up. I don't think they will accept such a copy of a boarding pass .... the e version has to be from their app. They can be so strict! I once left the pass in shop airside and they would not let me return from gate to fetch it but made me wait till last person boarded... then let me on.

From my experience you won't be able to check in before 9pm ( exactly 7 days before your flight).
Mobile check in is handy but you can do both the mobile check in and the PDF if you want, I find mobile check in to be very handy and straightforward.
