The Ryanair airline has communicated that, for some international airports, it will not be possible to use the boarding card on the smartphone. The measure concerns passengers departing from Türkiye, Morocco and Tirana (Albania), where airport structures are not equipped to accept the digital format. In these cases, travelers will have to check in online and present themselves on the fly with the printed boarding card.
Normally, the company allows passengers to travel with digital boarding pass in most of its airports. However, the situation in these three airports requires the adoption of a paper format, under penalty of the risk of not being able to embark. Ryanair’s recommendation is to organize yourself in advance to avoid delays and extra expenses.
The rules on hand luggage
In addition to the issue of boarding cards, Ryanair is known for its severe rules regarding hand luggage with each passenger who can bring only a personal bag of maximum 40 x 20 x 25 to be placed on board for free to be placed under the seat.
But now things are changing: the new legislation provides for an increase up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm, that is, a volume of 24 liters. An adjustment that respects what is set by the Airlines for Europe association, or a minimum standard of 40 x 30 x 15 cm for free hand luggage.
For a cabin suitcase up to 10 kg and size 55 x 40 x 20 cm, a supplement must be paid. Those who need to transport more luggage can opt for registered baggage, available in 10 kg or 20 kg versions. The latter must not exceed the measures 80 x 120 x 120 cm and must be delivered to the check-in counter before the safety checks. If the weight exceeds the limit, a rate up to 15 euros is applied for each extra kilo.
Ryanair also applies penalties in other cases: check-in at the airport (about 50 euros), change name (up to 100 euros online) or delay in the gate. The company underlines that respecting the procedures allows you to avoid unwelcome economic surprises.
