Can I check in at the airport or do I have to check in online?
If you don't check in online for a flight you will have to do it at the airport. If you have not selected a seat already, the closer you get to the departure time the less selection you will have. Best to check-in right at the 24 hours prior online.

For a short-haul flight where you are only taking hand luggage, checking in online saves a lot of time and is therefore much better than checking in at the airport. If, on the other hand, you have to check in bulky luggage, it is better to use the classic check-in at the airport for security reasons.
In most cases, you can check-in online (or via a mobile phone app), print a boarding pass (or have it loaded to an app), and walk straight to security. You might also be able to print your boarding pass from a self-automated kiosk at the airport.
Checking in online is far more convenient than checking in at the airport. However, if you have to check in special luggage such as bulky goods or a pet, you should rather use the classic method.
Depending on the requirements of airport authorities, you will need to present a mobile boarding pass, a paper boarding pass printed out by you or a paper boarding pass picked up from the check-in desk.
Not technically. Your boarding pass is your “ticket” to board the plane, but technically your ticket is generated as an “e-ticket,” or an electronic ticket, when you book your flight. Your boarding pass will be generated upon check-in, either online or at the check-in counter.
Boarding passes are provided directly by the airline after checking in for your flight. If the airline you're flying with offers online check-in 24 hours before departure time, you can usually print your boarding passes directly from the website or have them sent directly to your phone!
I'm travelling with Ryan air and have checked in online. I have only got hand luggage, do I just skip the bag drop/check in desk and go straight through to security?! I'm travelling alone so a bit anxious to know what I'm doing! Simple answer,yes.Be at the gate in time for boarding.
We recommend all passengers arrive at the check-in or bag drop desk at least 2 hours before they are due to fly. If you have booked through an Online Travel Agent, have been required to verify your booking, and wish to do so at the airport, please make sure you arrive at the airport 2 hours before your flight.
6.2. 1 You must check in online at www.ryanair.com and print or download your boarding pass, unless you have a Flexi Plus ticket, in which case you can check in at the airport for free. 6.2. 2 Online check-in opens 60 days before the scheduled departure time if you have purchased an allocated seat.
Are you travelling with hand luggage only? If you are, you may be able to check in online for free and print off your boarding pass, so all you need to do when you arrive at the airport is go straight through security.
If you don't check in, you won't receive a boarding pass that allows you to board the plane, and your seat might be given up to a standby passenger. The check-in process also confirms your traveler details like your passport information and frequent flyer number.
Checking inThe check-in process at airports enables passengers to confirm they will be on the correct flight, obtain a boarding pass, possibly select their seat (if hasn't happened already and is allowed by airline), and check in luggage onto a plane, if desired.
It is always a good idea to check into your flight early, as it can help you avoid any potential delays or issues. Checking in online 24 hours before your flight leaves gives you the opportunity to select your seat and print out boarding passes ahead of time.
