New Ryanair app signals the end of paper boarding passes
Monday, July 14, 2014
The airline today launched a new app allowing passengers to book and check in using only their smartphones.
Ryanair continued its customer-first charm offensive today with the launch of an app that could spell the end of the paper boarding pass.
Got a smartphone?
As of today, you can book, check-in for and board Ryanair flights without paper boarding passes.
This morning, the airline launched a new app for iPhone and Android, which enables customers to browse, book, check in and board the airline using their phones.
Don't have a smartphone?
Then you're back to paper. You need to either check-in online and print your own boarding pass (as has been the case), or face a hefty €15 fee for a reprint at the airport.
The app, which has actually been available available since last Friday, allows customers to:
Log in with their 'My Ryanair' profile
Search Ryanair's 1,600 routes
Make quicker flight bookings
Choose and book allocated seats
Manage bookings and add baggages
Check in and download mobile boarding passes
View live flight information
Although the airline says the app allows passengers to book hotels and car hire, our tests found it actually redirects customers to ryanairhotels.com and ryanair.hertz.com on smartphone web browsers.
The app is available in English, Italian and Spanish.
