Your flight

Defaults to today on your device. Flights from 10 November 2026 onwards. Airport arrival is not completion of bag drop. Include queues and the walk to the desk.

Use the departure airport’s local time for every input. No time zone or daylight saving conversion is performed.

Your airport deadlines

These are closing times, not recommended arrival times. Finish each step before its deadline.

Follow your boarding pass, Ryanair notifications and airport screens. A delayed flight does not automatically move these scheduled-departure deadlines.

Hand luggage only?

This bag drop change does not affect you if you have checked in online and do not need to check in a bag. Complete online check-in at least 2 hours before departure, then allow time for security, passport control and the gate. Check any document-verification requirements.

Why the change?

Ryanair says around 20% of passengers check in a bag; the other 80% are unaffected by the bag drop change. Earlier closure gives travellers more time for security and passport control. The announcement does not mention fee changes.
