Check-in procedure for OTA bookings
You may not be able to check-in online where you purchased your flight through a third party website such as an online travel agent (OTA) which is not authorized by us to use our website or app to offer our flights for sale, and which does so in breach of the Terms of Use of our website (including the mobile app and any webpage and/or data that passes through the web domain at ryanair.com). For safety and security purposes, the check-in must be completed by passengers who booked via an OTA personally, by a passenger on the same booking, or by an individual agent with personal knowledge of the content of the luggage of all the passengers of the booking, to ensure all passengers are on notice of, and have confirmed compliance with required flight safety, security and public health protocols, including those set out by the ICAO Technical Instructions, Regulation (EU) 2015/1998, and the EASA/ECDC Covid-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol. Airport check-in for passengers who have booked through an OTA, and therefore cannot complete check-in online, is offered free of charge.
Airport Check-in Fees
Airport check-in is available but charges will apply. Customers who have not checked in online will encounter an airport check in fee, which is £/€55 (for flights from Spain €/£ 30) per passenger. If you have checked in but you have not printed your boarding pass, you will be charged for the boarding pass reissue fee, which is £/€20 per passenger.
