It's April 28th.

I'm Corey with the story.

With Maybank holidays coming up fast, travelers hitting UK airports with Ryanair, Jet2, or

EasyJet need to lock in these updated check-in rules.

Especially as the EU entry exit system rolls out April 10th, 2026, stretching passport

lines.

Ryanair shaking things up from November 10th, 2026, closing bag drop desks 60 minutes

before takeoff instead of 40, giving you more buffer for security snarls.

Online check-in drops two hours prior if no seat booked, or 60 days ahead if you reserved

once give the airport fee by handling it on their app, or site where digital boarding

passes rule, except spots like Morocco needing prints.

Jet2 lets you check in online, 28 days to six hours out, but desks open two and a half

to three hours early in slamshot 40 minutes.

Before wheels up, you gotta hit the gate 30 minutes prior, and turkey flights mean airport

pick up only, no online pass.

EasyJet opens online check-in, 30 days to two hours before, but ditch phone screenshots,

go app or crisp print and recheck if you're booking, changes, miss bag drop cut-offs, and

you're out of luck, even on delays.

Airlines are pushing extra airport time across the board to dodge EES headaches, so

plan smart, check their sites for your flights exact and keep, those trips smooth.
