Ryanair has announced a significant change to its check-in procedures, closing bag drop and check-in 60 minutes before departure, up from the previous 40 minutes. This adjustment, effective from November 2026, is aimed at addressing concerns over lengthy border queues across Europe.
Passengers planning to check in bags will need to arrive at the airport even earlier to comply with the new regulations. The airline's move underscores the growing challenges of managing airport congestion and passenger flow in the current travel landscape.
