A Costly Lesson for Being Late – Ryanair Fine for Airport Delays! ✈️💰

If you’re traveling with Ryanair, there’s one rule you need to pay close attention to, or you could face a hefty fine! The airline can impose a £100 (approx. €120) penalty on passengers who don’t reach the boarding gate on time.

⏳ How early should you arrive at the airport?

One of the biggest questions about flying is when to get to the airport. Recommendations are:

✔ Short-haul flights – at least 2 hours before departure

✔ Long-haul flights – at least 3 hours before departure

✔ Peak season or holidays – add an extra 30-60 minutes

While some airlines open check-in only 2-2.5 hours before departure, Ryanair has another strict rule you need to watch out for!

⚠️ Ryanair’s 40-Minute Rule

According to Ryanair’s regulations, if you arrive at the boarding gate less than 40 minutes before departure, you’ll have to pay a £100 (approx. €120) fine per passenger. This fee also applies if you miss your flight and try to rebook onto the next available one.
