Ryanair

Bargain basement prices and an impressive network of European airports have cemented Ryanair s position as one of the most popular low-cost airlines around. The Irish airline has come a long way from its humble beginnings, flying commuters between Waterford and London, thanks to the business savvy of CEO Michael O Leary.

Why fly with Ryanair

How to Check-in

Online check in only. When you book your flight, you will receive an email with a ‘Manage My Booking’ link. Follow this to check in; from 15 days before departure if you’re feeling organised, or up to four hours before the flight if not. Checking in costs £7 for online bookings and £14 for bookings made at the airport or via their call centre. Print out your own boarding card before arriving at the airport, or you will be charged £70 for a re-issue. If you’ve paid for hold baggage, check in online as normal and drop your luggage at the manned bag-drop desk in the airport. These desks will be open from two hours before the flight up until 40 minute before departure.
