What if I miss a Ryanair deadline?
Bag drop or airport check-in
Missing the airport check-in deadline may mean denied boarding without a refund. Arriving at the terminal or joining a queue before closure does not mean your bag has been accepted. Speak to Ryanair staff promptly; this tool cannot authorise late acceptance.
Online check-in
If you have not checked in online by 2 hours before departure, airport check-in may incur a fee and must still be completed before the airport desk closes.
Boarding gate
Ryanair says late passengers cannot board once boarding has closed. Ask staff about the next available flight and applicable conditions.
Verified fees

|---|---|
| Airport check-in | £55 / €55 per passenger per sector; flights from Spain £30 / €30, from Austria £40 / €40. |
| Missed departure | £100 / €100 per passenger per sector, subject to eligibility. |

The missed-departure option is listed for less than 40 minutes before departure through 1 hour afterwards, including arrival at the ticket desk within that hour for the next available flight. It does not extend bag drop or guarantee a seat. Confirm eligibility, any fare conditions and current charges with staff. The fee table may add applicable domestic VAT.
These bag prices describe buying a bag at the desk, not excess weight or gate charges. Current fees and exemptions: Ryanair official table of fees. The November deadline announcement does not announce any fee change.
