Ryanair has announced customers who purchase an allocated seat for their flight can now check-in up to 60 days in advance.

All Ryanair customers may select and purchase their preferred seat online, both on the Ryanair website and mobile app, from the time of booking right up to two hours before their scheduled departure.

In turn customers can check-in online and on the app, from between 60 days and two hours before their flight.

Customers who do not wish to purchase an allocated seat can check-in between four days and two hours before their flight and will be randomly allocated a seat free of charge.

Ryanair spokesman Kenny Jacobs said: “We are pleased to introduce 60 day check-in for customers who purchase an allocated seat.

“While we continue to innovate, the one thing that won’t change is our low fares, and our customers will still enjoy the biggest and best choice of destinations, with the most on-time flights and a fantastic on-board experience, as we continue to grow our fleet, traffic and routes.”
