Flying With Ryanair? You May Want To Check In NOW!
Ryanair have warned their customers that their website and mobile app services are to close today for 8 hours.
The shutdown will take place so that the system can be upgraded.
The services will be unavailable from 18:30 (UK time) tonight (Wednesday 22nd March), until 02:30 (UK time) on Thursday 23rd March.
The shutdown is set to affect customers travelling with the airline over the next couple of days, as the online check-in service, flight bookings, and changes will be unavailable.
The airline has encouraged its customers travelling across the next two days to check-in online before the shutdown, in order to bypass the disruption.
