"Ryanair will require all passengers dropping bags or checking in at the airport to do so one hour before take-off rather than the current 40-minute deadline. This change aims to give more time for passengers to clear airport security and passport queues."
"While the move was not prompted by the introduction of Europe's entry-exit system, the airline noted that the system had been a factor in increasing passport queues, with waits of several hours reported at some airports."
"Ryanair's chief marketing officer stated that the new check-in policy would mean a quicker bag-drop service, less queueing at airport desks, and an even more punctual service for the 20% of customers who still wish to check in a bag."
Ryanair will require passengers to check in one hour before take-off, changing from a 40-minute deadline. This adjustment aims to alleviate issues with airport security and passport queues, particularly influenced by the new entry-exit system in Europe. The airline reports that 80% of passengers already check in online, minimizing the impact of this change. Self-service bag-drop kiosks will be installed at over 95% of airports by October, enhancing efficiency for the 20% of customers who check in bags.
