Ryanair

Ryanair is an Irish low-cost airline based in Dublin, founded in 1984 by Irish businessman Tony Ryan. In 1991, Michael O'Leary was given the task of restructuring the company by adopting the "no frills" economic model. Since then, Ryanair has revolutionised European air transport with highly competitive fares and an operating model based on maximum efficiency.

 

Ryanair Holdings Plc, Europe's largest airline group, is the parent company of Ryanair UK, Buzz, Lauda and Malta Air. The group carries more than 200 million passengers annually on more than 3,000 daily flights from more than 90 bases, connecting more than 230 airports in 37 countries.

  • Additional carry-on baggage: Passengers who purchase the 2-piece carry-on bag option can bring a second piece of luggage on board (maximum dimensions: 55 x 40 x 20 cm, maximum 10 kg). This baggage must be placed in the overhead bin.
  • Checked baggage: Ryanair offers 10kg and 20kg checked baggage options, which can be purchased during booking or at a later date. The allowance and fares vary by route and season. Checked baggage must be dropped off at the check-in counter at the airport, before the security check.
  • Check-in: Online check-in is available up to 60 days before departure, for those who have purchased an assigned seat. Outward and return flights must be taken within 60 days prior to departure.  Check-in opens 24 hours to 2 hours before for those who have not chosen their seat and are randomly assigned. There is an additional charge for check-in at the airport. If you do not check in online up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure time, you can check in at the airport up to 40 minutes before departure, but you will be charged an additional fee for check-in at the airport (not for Plus e Flexi Plus passengers).
  • Travel requirements: It is the passenger's responsibility to ensure that he/she has the valid documents required for the destination (passport, visa if necessary). The company does not allow boarding without the documents in order.

Flights from an airport in Morocco, Turkey (excluding Dalaman Airport) or Tirana to the United Kingdom, must have a physical printout of the boarding pass and not a digital one.
