OK, some advice please on printing out the boarding passes with Ryan's online checkin system.

This is the first time I have used this. I know I need to print out a sheet for each leg of the journey, out and in.

However, there is a problem with the bar code. On the screen, also when I print it, instead of the bar code being a sucession of straight vertical lines, this is only true of a few at the start and the end. The rest are all scrambled into bits and pieces.

Also, I can't get a screen up to print the pass for the trip back to the UK.

The flight is in 11 days, well within the time period advertised.

Not sure if this will help but I have had trouble sometimes with BA.

Try this if it allows you. Email the pass to yourself and then open it up from there and try again. It worked for for me but hey ho.

I cant really say if you should worry about the bar code Bil. I just came through with Ryanair and no one ran the bar code through anything. They simply looked at the pass at security, at the boarding gate, and on the plane

Mine was scanner read at Luton last Sat at security gate !!

Sorry without seeing it I can't help ,I have had a few problems in the past but I just went back and started again .

Ryanair have ALWAYS scanned my barcode both at Stansted and Valencia and Sevilla ... Given the huge penalty you would undoubtedly be charged if they couldn't scan the barcode when you turn up, it might be worth an email or a phone call?

Thats why I said "I cant really say if you should worry about the barcode"
I have never had mine scanned at Birmingham, EMA or Alicante, but that doesnt mean it wouldnt happen

Hi

Yes I have had it happen when my PC could not be connected to the printer; what I was trying to do was to cut & paste it onto a Microsoft Word document, then save the document to my pen drive, and use another computer to print it.

If you are printing directly then the "bar code" is not a bar code (E13B font) that you see in supermarkets, but a series of indistinguishable lines.

If you have such a box then you should not worry

Yes, that's how it should look. So long as you have the thick bar and a few thin lines after it at each end, you're OK
Have you done the online check-in for the return trip? You have to do that for each leg, before you can print the boarding pass.

Once you have checked in on-line and can't print the boarding pass for any reason, try again later. your details will have been logged with ryanair, you may have to start again though but then it will come up as a re-print.
you can do this up to 4 hrs before flying.

Also depending on how long your trip is, you may not be able to print the return journey boarding pass at the same time as your outward journey, and have to do that before you fly back.

... They do scan at Leeds / Bradford. The 'Bar Code' doesn't look like the ones you see on the side of Baked Bean cans... so just print it and present it at the airport you'll be fine !!

And... how come there is a Ryanair 'Credit Card' fee paid when booking even if I pay with a Visa DEBIT card (i.e. I assume Ryanir get the money straight away )

???

Don't even bother to ask that one ... daughter flew back from Sevilla on Sunday after year abroad for Uni (15euros for 1kg overweight), and we hope NEVER to fly Ryanair again!

I must admit, when I glanced at one someone had on my last trip, I didn't focus on the codes, so they could well be the same. I was expecting it to look like a baked bean bar code. As you say, it has a thick line, followed by three thins, then the mass of apparantly scrambled bars, then at the far right, one thick followed by 4 thins.

Thinking about it, when they say you can print 15 days before, will that also apply to the return flight, ie I can't print that out until 15 days before I fly back?
