Ryanair in a nutshell
Ryanair has made a name for itself in European aviation as a pioneer of the low-cost concept. By limiting its services to the essentials, i.e. transport from A to B, it offers the lowest possible prices, which still arouse suspicion today.
Ryanair carries over 100 million passengers a year, making it one of Europe's largest carriers. It operates flights to two hundred different destinations across Europe.
It operates exclusively with Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in yellow and blue livery with a winged Irish harp on the indicator.

Hi, the flight from Agadir to Wroclaw on 25 February takes an hour longer than now according to the Ryanair website. Does the time in Morocco ever change now (Ramadan comes to mind)?
We went last year for Spring Break and just in connection with Ramadan they really changed the time (to make the sunrise to sunset fasting work better for them somehow), we experienced it on our departure and it was a bit of a mess.
Hello, Ryanair changed our departure airport from Pardubice to Prague. On the way back we are flying to Pardubice. We would like to change our ticket to go back to Prague as well. Ryanair is threatening to charge 45€ per ticket. Does anyone have experience? Did they charge you a fee when the initial change was on their side? Thanks
You have two separate tickets, Ryan doesn't do it any other way. So changing one of them has no effect on the other, so they won't give you a 100% free change.
I don't know how it is in this particular case, but in general I would certainly not use the term "no effect".
Okay, put "probably" in front of "no effect".
If it's within the same reservation, I would write to support. They should allow the change to PRG.
I join the advice to try contacting support. Feel free to message the chat and ask to be connected to an agent. Unless you want a change that will lose your pants, there's a decent chance they'll accommodate you if you have flights on one booking. Ask them to change to a specific flight to Prague. I managed a masterstroke like this under covida - of course they cancelled the 10 euro "investment" flights, so I cruelly changed them to Rhodes over the July holidays via the agent 🤣.
It would be interesting to know how this is displayed in the app/web.
Otherwise, it's not a masterpiece at all, they'll let you change it to anything within +-14 days, even if the description on the site claims otherwise. I also flew to Tenerife for 16 euros for Christmas instead of Morocco the other day, but I clicked it on the website myself.
I tried, was told that the fee was 45eur, that it was company policy, and by golly. :D the conversation went very quickly. I am sending a photo for example. I apologize for my typos and grammar :D
You need to try several times and ask in which part of the transport contract the company policy is based.
I still don't see a screenshot of the flights - what they look like after the change.

Please advise - if the tickets were purchased by one person (group), do the individual passengers have to go through the airport procedures together or can each person go through the procedures alone if they have their own boarding pass?
How far in advance is it safe (but at the same time as late as possible of course) to arrive at the airport in Prague if the passenger is checked in and has only a small hand luggage? We're talking about around 5AM, so I'm not expecting any big rush hour...
Anyone with a boarding pass is, of course, on their own. So if he wants to go out of the group half an hour later, it's up to him. If you only have hand luggage, it should be enough to arrive an hour and a half to two hours before departure. If you're really flying at 5:00 a.m., you're good. But there are a lot of low-cost carriers flying between 6 and 7, so I'd advise more like the two hours. Just watch the gate closing time.
Ryanair cancels Prime. The reason? People were using it and saving money, which was an advertising enticement.
"So far, we have acquired over 55,000 Prime members, which has generated more than €4.4 million in subscriptions. However, Prime members have received discounts on tickets worth over €6 million, so this trial period has cost us more money than it has generated, " said Ryanair's marketing director Dara Brady.

Ryan figured he was losing money on it, so he canceled. Logical decision. They already have the cheapest tickets, to which there often isn't even an alternative, so they don't need anything like that.
Looks like the Ryans won't be flying to Turin anymore. Too bad. It was a good destination for exploring Piedmont, Aosta and Genoa. Well, good thing I used it twice.

I also took advantage this June with a February RT purchase for a solid 390 Kč thanks to the pelican promo code. ... where are the times! ...
Turin for the umpteenth time, so this year I added the interesting Turin metro, Moncalieri, Racconigi, Cuneo.
Ryanair is ending paper boarding passes. https://zdopravy.cz/koncime-s-pa...ni-260665/
Low-cost carrier Ryanair is considering increasing the bonus for staff who spot passengers with oversized luggage when boarding a flight. The current bonus is €1.5
That's certainly appropriate, the current pay is so lousy that they don't even bother to address it, when someone comes in with a crosse, they prefer to pretend they don't see it...
Have a nice day,
I've devised a holiday family move between PRG, STN and EDI, different times, different people, different luggage. My initial question is, does it make sense to buy a PRG - STN ticket today, for example, and then wait to see if the price of the return is still prospectively reduced? Sometimes I have to buy three different tickets because I have a PRG - STN, STN - EDI and EDI- PRG plan. I suspect there might be some savings as open-jaw on other airlines, but it's completely irrelevant on Ryanair, isn't it? Similarly, perhaps the STN - EDI part?
I think I have this right, but would be grateful for confirmation that this is the case, or any risks involved.
Thanks
Ryanair is a point to point airline, so there is no risk of open-jaw, even with other low cost airlines. You put the puzzle together at your own risk, but I wouldn't worry about skipping Wizzair altogether, you just need to give yourself enough time to change planes (which doesn't mean 2 hours).
I'm afraid it's a bit late in May to wait for cheap holiday tickets.
Well, I'm not expecting miracles, but it's moving every day by a couple of hundred back and forth, I need four people, different flights, sometimes with a backpack, sometimes with a big suitcase, it's getting crowded.
Thank you!
No one can tell you when a ticket will cost how much and whether to buy it now or wait. You can try https://www.airhint.com/ as a guide. But again, it's just a prediction. I buy tickets when I think the price is reasonable. What is an acceptable price is of course individual.
Hi, the Ryanair website states that they will no longer accept printed BoardingPasses, but when I tried to check in for my flight from Agadir to Wroclaw in the downloaded app, the BoardingPass does not appear and it says that you have to go to the check-in desk at the airport. I know that Agadir did not accept BoardingPass on mobile until recently, can it write like this for this reason?
This is common from third countries. The important thing is to have a checkin. They then physically check the passport at the counter that they can get the person into the EU and they won't have to take them back at their own expense if they don't have a visa etc.
So before flying from Morocco (even domestic?), I have to check in online, go to the check-in desk - even if I only have cabin baggage - and they print out my boarding pass for free? Or what is the exact procedure? Thank you.
Domestic I don't know, probably not, if there are electronic boarding passes, there is no need for the airline to do anything.
I've encountered this "check" on, for example, a wizz flight from Jordan to the EU (even though I did online check-in and we didn't have a suitcase, we had to go to the check-in counter where they wanted to see our passports and us physically and then only gave us paper boarding passes), same from Abu Dhabi to Vienna, or from Male to Abu Dhabi (where they even gave us an electronic boarding pass to go through security, but they returned us from the passport office saying that we had to go somewhere else to get a paper boarding pass), or on some other flights, even though we passed the electronic boarding pass (we only had cabin luggage) to the gate, they checked us extra at the gate and wanted to see our passports or other documents needed to enter the destination country (as I recall, this happened to me on the Mauritius-Vienna and Macau-Taipei flights).
Thank you, however I am specifically interested in the FR in Morocco, both domestic and from Morocco back to the EU. So if anyone has current experience, please post it here.
From the Ryanair website:
What if I'm flying from Morocco?
Passengers flying from Morocco must check-in online as normal and then present their DBP at the airport to collect a printed boarding pass.
I've also come across this and I assume that at the airport to collect a printed boarding pass means at the FR check-in counter they will print me a free boarding pass. Oh, and I assume it will be the same for a domestic flight ( flying from Morocco can also mean flying from Morocco to Morocco). Anyway, the FR comrades could have specified it on the web in a more blurb-like way.
We flew RAK-BUD a month ago with Wizz, but the procedure is the same. Do the OLCI, then stand in line at the gate where they give you a paper BP, and then the passport. I assume it will be the same for inbound.
If Ryanair wanted to pay for it, they'd write it in. They're not such crooks.
That's where Wisser is worse, because he will calmly claim that:
Mobile boarding card is not available yet. Please print your boarding card and present it at the gate.
Even though there is no need to print it and they will print it for free at the counter (verified at several different airports).
Moroccans are fond of stamping.
Yes, Wizz says BP needs to be pushed out, but it really doesn't. They will print it for free at the check-in on the basis of your passport.
But, again, they will print it for you in every airline if you want it.
If they have anything.
