Ryanair boarding cards
 

Just going back to UK for a quick visit to see family. I printed off my R.A. boarding pass and it is not A4 but quarter size. Page devided into quarters with dotted lines around segments. Other parts contain info on bag size, arrival times and hotels. Do R.A. now use these smaller sizes? Can't find any info on their web site.

I was surprised to see the layout had changed when I printed our boarding passes at the weekend. I presume they've done it to make the folded-up version easier to handle and put in a pocket or wallet. When the staff at the gate used to check the full-page version, it was a pain trying to hold the full page open while they checkedn and marked it with a pen. But as you say, no obvious mention of the change on their web site.

Thanks Ken. Of course there is always the advert for booking.com. Can't see that being added for free.

Perhaps when you fold it then it will fit neatly in your passport at the picture page making checking easier and quicker.

When travelling to Alicante for 10 days in Oct I was surprised to see I could only check in 7 days in advance (unless I wanted to pay for allocated seating). This is clearly yet another Ryanair policy to generate revenue but not wanting to have to find an Internet Cafe with printing facilities in SP I downloaded and used the Ryanair App. From within the App you can both check in and download a copy of your BP which can be scanned from the phone at the airport. Worked for me (both ways) on a Blackberry Z10 but I did take the precaution of carrying a spare battery ;)

We checked in the homeward flight sitting in the airport awaiting the outward flight, free wifi. All had to do then was print out the paperwork whilst out there, cost 1 euro.

If U use the App there is no need for a hard copy although to be fair to Ryanair they did offer to print one out free of charge at the check-in desk.

Don't know about the new boarding card formats, but you could always try downloading the All my passes app - no more printing necessary then, your boarding pass is just scanned on your digital device at the gate.

Have you read post #5?

Re: Ryanair boarding cards
 

The Ryanair app just applies to Ryanair I think the one quoted here applies to any transport or other facility that uses self generated access document.

Re: Ryanair boarding cards
 

The Ryanair App allows you to check in ... does the other? Also if something went wrong Ryanair would be more sympathetic if you were using their own App (unless it was O'Leary on the desk).

I got one of the new RA boarding cards still just as bad as the original so I downloaded the Ryan air app it stores all your flight info and boarding card and you just scan your phone over there reader a lot simpler

Re: Ryanair boarding cards
 

Thanks for your info. Boarding card worked just fine. As for apps, Although we use modern technology, my wife and I must be one of the few people left in the world who don't go around with a mobile welded to our hands!

I don't go around with my phone welded to my hands either lol but that being said the app comes in very useful all the same.. Adie

i like the idea of not having to print lots of pages.
