Holidaymakers flying with Ryanair could face an additional charge of £55 per person at the airport due to a common check-in oversight. Amidst the excitement of planning a vacation, essential pre-trip tasks like securing travel insurance, ensuring visa requirements, and arranging transportation can sometimes lead to neglecting the online check-in process.
Failure to check in online could result in a hefty total of £220 for a family of four when checking in at the airport instead of online. Passengers with pre-reserved seats can check in online up to 60 days prior to departure, while those without reserved seats can do so 24 hours before the flight, with the possibility of selecting a seat for free if available.
To avoid the airport check-in fee, travelers must check in online with a valid travel document like a passport or National Identity Card. Ryanair emphasized the importance of online check-in, stating that failure to do so up to 2 hours before departure may result in an airport check-in fee.
The airline recommended all passengers to check in online to avoid unnecessary charges and provided information on airport check-in fees on their website. Additionally, passengers departing from Moroccan airports must check in online as usual and collect a boarding pass at the airport check-in desk.
