Ryanair issues reminder over digital boarding pass switch 

Ryanair passengers will no longer be able to download and print physical paper boarding passes from next Wednesday.

The change from November 12 will impact 20% of the airline’s 207 million passengers who have yet to convert to digital passes.

Travellers using the no-frills airline will need to use digital boarding passed generated in the ‘myRyanair’ app during check-in to board their flight.

The transition, already adopted by nearly 80% of passengers, will deliver a “faster, smarter and greener” travel experience, Europe’s largest short-haul carrier claimed.

Chief marketing officer Dara Brady said: “We are now just a little less than a week out from our move to 100% digital boarding passes, meaning that from Wednesday, 12 November, passengers will no longer be able to download and print a physical paper boarding pass but will instead need to use the digital boarding pass generated in their ’myRyanair’ app during check-in to board their Ryanair flight.

“While over 80% of passengers already use digital boarding passes, and therefore won’t be affected by this progressive change, we remind the small number of passengers who still print boarding passes to download the myRyanair app ahead of the move to 100% digital boarding passes from Wednesday, 12 November.”

He added: “Moving fully digital means a faster, smarter, and greener experience for passengers, whilst also providing easier access to a range of innovative in-app features, including ‘Order to Seat’, live flight information and direct updates during disruption. 

"We look forward to delivering an enhanced travel experience for 100% of our customers, streamlined through our best-in-class myRyanair app.”
