New Rules for Boarding Passes on UK Airlines in 2026

Boarding passes must be in the right form or passengers can't check-in.

Getting your boarding pass ready is important before your trip, but some people might have problems at check-in because they don't know the rules. You need to know if your airline wants your documents in a certain format.

Before, most UK airlines let passengers choose how to get their boarding passes. Now, it's essential to understand what your airline allows, or your trip might be in trouble.

Paper boarding passes are being replaced by digital ones. Most airlines send tickets by email or through apps.

Many times, travellers can still print their passes at home or at the airport. It's a good idea to check your airline's policies before your trip.

Some airlines have specific rules.

Ryanair only uses digital boarding passes now. Passengers get their passes electronically through the app after checking in.

Ryanair says digital passes help the environment and reduce costs.

Ryanair reminds passengers to check-in online before their flight. If they don't, they might have to pay a fee at the airport.

Ryanair offers help at airports for passengers who need it with digital passes.

Some UK airlines don't accept printed boarding passes.

Airlines like easyJet accept digital tickets, but they must be on the easyJet app. Some airports still want printed passes.

21 easyJet airports don't accept mobile boarding passes in 2026, so you'll need to print your pass.

Some airports that work with Wizz Air also don't support mobile passes.

For other airlines, it's best to check their website to see if they have specific rules.
