Ryanair going to all digital bording passes Nov 12

80% are already doing it because its convenient. Me too tge last few years anf I am slow with this sort of thing. But I find it hard to believe there won't be a Plan B for dead or lost phones. So certainly there will be. You bought the ticket, its hard to imagine they can refuse you service if you lost your cell phone in London. If you travel with a companion, make sure the App is on both phones and on that old wifi only phone you carry for emergency situations.

You should make sure to check in online before arriving at the airport. Then, if your phone fails, you can get a free boarding pass. If you haven't checked in online, and the phone fails, you are likely to face a £50 fee to check in and get a boarding pass.

That's the kind of thing I mentioned in a different thread yesterday or the day before. RyanAir loves fee-generating gotchas like that. Not all budget airlines are alike in every respect.

"You bought the ticket, its hard to imagine they can refuse you service if you lost your cell phone in London."

Not for me. They (Delta, others?) can deny you service if you don't remember to bring the credit card you bought the ticket with. Why? Because they said so.

I'd make a bet for Ads being on the app within a year but defining an ad (or up-sell or...) would be a problem.

Doesn't matter, I won't be installing their app on my phone. So it looks like I'll never have to worry about it.

Give it a few months to play out. These things as often as not turn into non-issues.

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline

That's what their own propaganda dares to say.
Ryanair Group is the largest airline group in Europe and consists of 5 airlines.

• Ryanair DAC (Ireland)
• Buzz (Poland)
• Lauda (Austria)
• Malta Air (Malta)
• Ryanair UK (UK)

But Europe's No 1 airline is the Europe's Leading Airline rewarded by World Travel Awards, Lufthansa. This was the second consecutive year the German airline won this top honor, which also awarded it for the best economy class in Europe.

Define No1.

Ryanair is Europe’s largest airline by passengers with double that of the 2nd place airline.

They go from and they go to the right places at the right cost and with adequate comfort and ease.
