No, you should never share a photo or scan of your Ryanair boarding pass with anyone.

Here’s why it’s a serious security and privacy risk:

  1. Data Thesis: A modern boarding pass barcode or QR code contains a wealth of your personal information (PNR - Passenger Name Record). With the right tools, someone can decode it to access your:

    • Full name
    • Flight details
    • Booking reference (which can be used to access your booking on the airline’s website)
    • Frequent flyer number (if applicable)
  2. Account Takeover Risk: With your booking reference and last name, a malicious actor could potentially “manage your booking” on Ryanair’s website. This could allow them to:

    • Change your seat (sometimes for a fee).
    • Cancel your flight.
    • Extract more personal data from your profile.
  3. Social Engineering: The information on the pass can be used to make phishing attempts or scams appear more convincing, as they contain specific, real details about your travel plans.

  4. Ryanair’s Official Stance: Ryanair explicitly warns passengers against sharing their boarding pass on social media for these exact security reasons.

Safe Practices:

  • At the Airport: Only show your boarding pass (digital or paper) to airline staff, security, or border control when required.
  • Proof of Travel: If you need to prove you’re flying (e.g., to a hotel or employer), it’s safer to show a separate booking confirmation email (which often has less sensitive data) or simply the flight details without the barcode.
  • Keep it Private
