I have booked a flight form Madrid to Santiago de compostella with Rayanair. I need to know if I have to check in online or I can check in at he check in desk once at Barajas airport.. One more question: I have a small suitcase. is it a check in or a carry on baggage?
Thanks
Youcef
You probably can checkin online. No one here will know how big your small suitcase is.
You should read Ryanair's baggage rules (they are in 50 or more different languages) to see what you can carry on or not with the ticket you paid for.

And follow all the rules they lay out completely.
Their business model makes them quite unforgiving, as they make a lot of their profits by dinging people who fail to follow the rules. There are reasons why the flights are so cheap...
I have read reports that if you don't arrive at the airport with your boarding pass, RyanAir will charge you an unbelievable amount of money to print one for you. I think the figure I saw was 50 or 70 euros. It's an airline that's extremely fond of playing "gotcha!"
I always check in online for flights if it's available. If you don't have a device that you can do it on, your hotel will help you.
Y\Hola from Wisconsin,
Yes you get charged a lot for not having a boarding pass printed out in advance. And they suggest you print in on size A paper. That is a bit different than our letter sized paper. But they let us through.
Checking your luggage, and here is why you should use a different airline. Your luggage cost will be about the cost of your human ticket. I think we got human tickets at 17Euro each and we were charged 25 for each checked piece of luggage.
It was an entertaining experience. They spent more time selling raffle tickets and duty free junk and sandwiches than anything else. Your flight instructions are taped to the back of the seat in front of you. Kind of a "Your safety is your responsibility".
