Ryanair to cut airport check-in desk and bag drop times to 60 minutes pre-departure from Nov. 2026

Ryanair says check-in and bag drop will close 60 minutes before scheduled departure at all airports from 10 November 2026, up from 40 minutes. The carrier attributes the change to longer security and immigration processing as the Schengen Entry-Exit System (EES) starts affecting passenger throughput.
