    Hey, sorry if this seems like a stupid question but does it matter what size the boarding pass is printed out as?

    This is with ryanair, now when I save the file as a pdf it prints out nearly the full size of the A4 but when I click the 'print' part on the actual checking in page it prints it out less then half the size of the a4!

    I onyl ask as there appears to be a barcode or something on it which I assume is scanned..so is the size of it relevant and if so which one is correct?


    Sorry for the stupid question, but running a tight ship here and can't afford any mess ups :o

    Dunno what's going on with the printing from within your browser, but it should be coming out A4 sized. Their bar-code scanners might still be able to scan the smaller sized ones, but A4 is the normal size they will expect to be handed.

    Printed mine smaller than A4 before and the scanner wouldn't read it at Dublin Airport.

    It must be printed A4 or letter size. I think it is the first step of online check-in that lists the exact rules and regulations. And it does mention this size requirement.
