Ryanair extends check-in window at Norwich Airport

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Nov, 12:01 · Archive

Ryanair passengers at Norwich Airport can now check in online up to 72 hours before departure.

Ryanair passengers flying from Norwich Airport have been given more time to check in before flights under a new policy. Travellers who do not pay to select a seat can now check in online between 72 hours and two hours before departure, replacing the previous 24-hour window. The change offers greater flexibility for budget-conscious flyers.

However, some passengers have reported a change to seat allocation. Randomly assigned seats are now displayed only three hours before departure, rather than at the time of check-in. Travel publication Goosed suggested this change could encourage more passengers to pay for seat selection. 'Most couples and groups won't fancy that gamble, so expect more people to pay for seats at the booking stage instead,' Goosed said, describing the new approach as 'a nudge to buy seats'.

Ryanair has not confirmed whether the delayed seat allocation applies to all routes. The airline currently serves four destinations from Norwich Airport: Alicante, Faro, Malta and Malaga, with Malaga added as a new destination earlier this year.
