Ryanair moves check‑in and bag‑drop cut‑off to 60 minutes before departure

Ryanair will close check‑in and bag‑drop 60 minutes before scheduled departure instead of the current 40 minutes, with the new rule taking effect on 10 November 2026.

The rule applies to all Ryanair airports and passengers; self‑service bag‑drop kiosks, integrated with the Ryanair app, are installed at more than 95% of its airports and let travellers check bags and print tags. Twenty percent of customers who check a bag will be affected, while 80% of those travelling without checked bags will not be impacted.
