Starting today: Rayan Air is canceling paper boarding passes except for one destination, and will impose a penalty if you do not check in in advance.
According to BT, Ryanair has been phasing out paper boarding passes to lower ticket prices for passengers. Ryanair stated on its website that it will no longer issue physical boarding passes, which was an option until now. Therefore, if you plan to travel with the low-cost carrier Ryanair starting November 12th, you will need your smartphone.
The company is doing this to reduce its costs at the airport and at the same time lower ticket prices for passengers, and to provide better customer service regarding information about flight departures and ticket rebookings, according to the company, according to the source.
Cases of phone loss or dead battery
Ryanair also notes, according to BT, that you can still get a free boarding pass at the airport if you have lost your phone or tablet, if it ran out of charge before check-in, or if you do not have a smartphone or tablet.
However, this requires you to check in online before you arrive at the airport.
Exempting a country and issuing paper cards
However, travel to Morocco is an exception, where you get a paper card at the airport when your digital boarding pass is shown, according to the source.
Fine for not checking in online in advance
If you forget to check in beforehand, Ryanair will charge a fee of €55, equivalent to 410 Danish kroner, according to BT.
