Ryanair website shuts for upgrade

Passengers should check in today if they are flying in the next few days

Published Modified

Ryanair has warned passengers – especially those flying in the next 36hours – that its website and mobile app will be offline for a systems upgrade overnight tomorrow.

The airline says the sites will close for eight hours from 19.30 French time (18.30 UK) on Wednesday, March 22, until 3.30 French time (2.30 UK) on March 23 and online check-in, new bookings or flight changes will not be available during this period.

It asks all passengers to check-in today before the closure takes effect if they are travelling tomorrow or Thursday – however, Friday passengers should check as the low-cost airline last year reduced its check-in period from one week to four days.

It says it has contacted all customers booked to travel tomorrow or Thursday by email and text but passengers should make sure in advance that everything is in order.

The airline says airport check-in will be available for free for the duration of the shut-down if there are any problems.

Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “This web closure and systems upgrade will take eight hours. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this upgrade.”
