As of November 12 (Wednesday), it will no longer be possible to download or print a paper boarding pass. Starting from this date, the use of printed tickets will be completely prohibited, and all passengers will be asked to check-in and present a digital ticket via the "myRyanair" app.
According to the company, about 80% of its more than 207 million annual passengers already use digital tickets. The full transition is expected to streamline the boarding process and provide easy access to a variety of services within the app, including ordering food directly to your seat, live updates on flight status, instant notifications during disruptions, flight alternative suggestions, and travel documents, all centralized in one place.
Dara Brady, Ryanair's chief marketing officer: “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.
We remind the small number of passengers who still print boarding passes to download the myRyanair app ahead of the move."
The CMO further explained that the move will provide "faster, smarter, and greener" experiences for passengers, while giving easier access to a wide 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.”
