‘People should boycott’: Ryanair’s new boarding pass rules leave passengers furious Budget airline Ryanair has announced plans to scrap paper boarding passes in favour of digital check-ins, and some passengers are furious.
The airline’s website explains that airports in Turkey (except Dalaman), Morocco and Tirana (Albania) don’t accept mobile boarding passes, and that customers travelling from these destinations must check-in online and print out a paper boarding pass for their flights.
Mr O’Leary has said that Ryanair plans to phase out physical boarding passes completely by May 2025, a move that would make it the first airline in the world to go entirely paperless.
‘It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport – the airport check-in fee will be gone.
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary first revealed plans to scrap paper boarding passes at a press conference in Dublin last October.
