We aim for 2 hours but you will probably find check in only opens 1 hour before take off.

don't forget to check in on line line before you go to the airport.

Ryanair are wonderful. So many opportunities.

If it's from East Midlands get there early. They have a lot of flights depart early and nowhere near enough people checking in.
Never flown with just hand luggage though so if you don't need to visit the desks and go straight to security it shouldn't be too bad. worth the extra there though for speedy lane. Gets you to the bar faster!

Usually when i fly at that time in the morning, there is generally less people as its one of the first flight.. i used to get there for just before 5, check in and then go through security and then chill and get a coffee :)

They do have a check in desk at the airport for those that didn't check in online but it is VERY expensive.

If you have checked in online and you printed off your boarding card just go straight to the security gate to go "airside".

I would also say to be careful with your hand luggage size, check online what size you are allowed.

In my experience with Ryanair there is usually someone walking up and down the queue at the gate with a thing like a cardboard box which they slide over your bag.
If it doesn't fit over your bag then it becomes hold luggage and will cost a you a packet!

Never seen the staff use the box but there is always a metal frame to test luggage size. I have seen people literally stand on their luggage to squeeze it in and folks take stuff out & carry it loose (to be returned to the case as soon as they are through.

I believe the rules have now been relaxed a little to allow a 2nd small bag about handbag size.

Two issues:

Find out the current status with the roadworks around Manchester Airport - they are laying tram lines and diverting traffic. Earlier this year it took me ages to get from M56 to terminal three as we had to go on a lengthy detour.

Try and find out how long security is taking!

"Travelled to Malta Saturday 9th August, returned 23rd Aug. Very nearly missed our outbound flight due to security queues, arrived 2 hours before flight, so should have been plenty of time. Had to run to the gate."

"The chaos started going through security, the queue started in the booking-in hall then snaked all the way through security we queued for over 90 minutes"

"However the normal security queue was absolutely horrendous - it wound it's way all through the roped security area then all the way out of security and along to the very end of the concourse."

"Dreadful queues, even at 5 am on a Sunday morning and not even school holidays. Although we arrived at least 2 hours before take off, as advised, we only had 5 minutes before we were called to board."

All reports are from this summer and it echoes our last two visits earlier this year and last year.
