Ryanair online check in with App - help needed

Post by ClaretTony » Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:26 am

I've got a Ryanair booking for two people and I want to check in via their App so the boarding passes are available on a phone rather than on paper.

I can't find out how this works for two passengers. Is it easy to transfer the boarding pass on to a second phone for the other passenger?

You can check both passengers in on your phone then te second passenger can download the app and log in using the reservation details and access their boarding pass.
As a belt & braces, I also use the option to store my boarding passes in Apple "Wallet"

Another alternative is to screenshot the other passengers boarding pass and text or Whatsapp it to them...

Brilliant - thanks Irish Claret - it wasn't clear and I thought they would both be stuck on my phone.

Had the same problem last week but worked fine the wife just used her phone for the both of us no questions asked really .
Ryan Air latest way of making money is to try and sell you a seat next to the person you travel with for 4 Euro each otherwise they will put you about 8 seats behind each other . The real fun starts when everyone just gets up and starts swapping seats when the doors close .

Just make sure you go through the security gate using your boarding pass, not the other persons. When I book flights for colleagues flying out with me the amount of times they've gone through using my boarding pass then mine is rejected is unreal. I've just used a printed out boarding pass to go to Poland this week and it was much easier, no messing with the phone and lack of signal etc, etc.

I recently flew Ryanair and had both boarding passes on my IPad. It wasn't an issue and the Ryanair staff were well used to seeing this. So much easier to check in too

I would actually pay NOT to sit next to my wife when we travel, so this is great.

Last time my wife and I were separated on a flight, when we landed she was ****** and had spent a fortune on duty free. Definitely cheaper to pay to sit together.

Hummmm look the Manchester - Dublin flight is 35 minutes which I think CT was looking at so no problem .
If you don't want to sit next to the wife hey what ever , maybe a devoice would be better for you but that would cost a tad more than 4 Euro :D

I'm going to Dublin soon for a wedding and had to book a case for suit etc.. On checking the website it says you have to check in online and get there at least an hour before, if you have a case use bag drop off point.
Are these bag drop off points quick and easy?

Very true. A typical move from the totally obnoxious O'Leary. I have travelled with them for years and if there is a way to to make flying uncomfortable they will find it.

BA is doing the same now. The worlds two least favoutite airlines.

This is the same ryanair owner who spat his dummy out over being charged extra by trainer Willie Mullins for training fees ?

I think we all need to remember what a ticket cost pre low cost, when the only choice to be had was to fly with a national carrier.

We need to put things into perspective here. We are flying for dirt cheap, and expecting what exactly? Just pay the extra 4 Euros then Google the price from 15 / 20 years ago to make you feel better.

It took me 1 hour and 15 mins one time to drop a bag at Manchester airport on a Ryanair flight, there was about 3-4 coach loads of Italian kids going back to Italy after their holidays, if it's busy it could take a while. Leeds would be a lot quicker.

I just booked to come over for Xmas and paid €2 per seat into Leeds/Bradford well worth it.

Bearing in mind their profits, lots more must be too. However, being in the industry makes me feel much differently.

I can appreciate that, but for me, getting to Dublin for the price I've paid is brilliant. Cheaper than going to Manchester and back a couple of times.

I couldn't agree more, each to their own. If it works for you personally, do it.

Checked in this morning and was allocated seats on rows 9 & 20. I spoke to a friend of mine later who are on the same flight. They've been allocated seats on rows 9 & 20. So that's sorted.

Recently flew with Ryanair - I don't usually pay to choose my seats - I'd rather chance it. But if you are checking a bag in then they have a package which includes seat selection and priority boarding which costs the same (if not less) than just paying to check a bag in.

Leeds Bradford is a walk in the park - I think I had checked my bag in manually and got through security in about 15 minutes.

No bags to check and wasn't paying extra. Had I wanted to virtually every seat was available.
