- Ryanair will require passengers checking in bags to arrive earlier at the airport, with check-in and bag drop services closing 60 minutes before scheduled departure.
- This new deadline, an increase from the previous 40 minutes, will come into effect from 10 November across all Ryanair airports.
- The airline states the change aims to provide passengers with more time to clear airport security and passport control, thereby reducing instances of missed flights.
- Ryanair will open its check-in desks earlier to accommodate the new deadline, and the change primarily affects the 20 per cent of passengers who check in luggage.
- The move is partly a response to delays experienced by some passengers at passport control due to the EU entry-exit system, and Ryanair is also installing self-service kiosks at over 95 per cent of its airports before October.
