When you pay for a flight, you will see your booking confirmation pop up on screen. You will then receive a confirmation email from us detailing your flight details, reservation number and the amount you paid. If this does not appear in your inbox, you should also check your email spam folder.

Finding your Ryanair flight number is straightforward if you know what to look for: it always starts with the airline code "FR" followed by 3 or 4 digits (e.g., FR1234). In 2026, the easiest place to find this is in your email booking confirmation or the PDF "e-ticket" sent after purchase. It is usually located at the top of the itinerary section next to the departure date. If you have the Ryanair app, simply tap "My Bookings" and select your trip; the flight number will be prominently displayed on the digital boarding pass or the "Flight Info" tab. It is also printed on the physical boarding pass you receive after checking in. Be careful not to confuse it with your "Reservation Number" or "PNR," which is a 6-character alphanumeric code (like ABC12D) used for logging into your account, as the flight number is specifically for identifying the plane's route and status.
