| Feb 27, 2019 at 8:48 | comment | added | undefined | @JonathanReez I'm a non-EU citizen living in a EU country. Last month I flew with RyanAir to a non-EU country and they didn't issue me a boarding pass through the app. So, it may vary (or maybe things have changed since the last time you tried?). | |

I am always able to check in online & get a boarding pass, but once I get to the boarding gate I just go straight to the podium with my passport because I know they're going to call me up soon any way. | |

I had mine checked for the flight from Vienna to London. They even asked when I plan to return when they did not like my national ID. I didn't plan to return as I worked there and was returning from a conference and the guy did not smile too much. | |
