With many youngsters soon breaking up from school for the summer holidays, it won't be long before families begin making their way to the airport.

However, before loading up the car and wheeling out the luggage, it's worth brushing up on the rules surrounding mobile boarding passes, as certain airports do not accept them. On top of location-specific restrictions, one budget airline has gone entirely paperless since November 2025. Here's what you need to know if you're travelling with easyJet or Ryanair.

The airline encourages travellers to use mobile boarding passes, as they allow all travel information to be stored in one secure, easy-to-access location. They also help reduce paper waste by eliminating the need for printed boarding passes.

For added convenience and offline access, you can also save your mobile boarding passes directly to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

Not all airports accept mobile boarding passes. Easyjet explains: "The majority of our airports accept mobile boarding passes, however, the airports listed below do not currently accept mobile boarding passes."

This includes:

• ADB - Izmir
• AGA - Agadir
• AYT - Antalya
• AQJ - Aqaba
• BEG - Belgrade-Beograd
• DJE - Djerba
• ESU - Essaouira
• EVE- Harstad
• HRG - Hurghada
• JSH - Sitia
• LXR - Luxor
• NBE - Enfidha-Hammamet
• RAK - Marrakech
• RBA - Rabat Sale
• RMF - Marsa Alam
• SCR- Scandinavian Mountains
• SPX - Cairo Sphinx
• SSH - Sharm El Sheikh

It adds: "If you're flying from an airport that doesn't currently accept mobile boarding passes, please check in online at www.easyJet.com and print out a paper boarding pass for your flight.

"Many of these airports require all passengers to complete a document check before going to security. If travelling from an affected airport, please make sure you, and anyone you're travelling with goes to our Bag Drop for a document check before going through security."

Ryanair confirmed it has "moved to 100% Digital Boarding Passes (DBP). This means all passengers will receive a DBP to their Ryanair App when they check-in online."

Passengers simply need to check in online via Ryanair.com or through the Ryanair App before arriving at the airport. Once checked in, your DBP will appear automatically within the Ryanair App.

You should present your DBP at airport security and at the boarding gate for your flight. The airline explains the shift to fully digital means:

• DBP lowers airport costs and fares for all Ryanair passengers.
• Provides a better service (including flight info) for customers on day of travel.
• Improves customer service and re-booking during flight disruptions.
• Better for our environment (gets rid of 300 tonnes of paper annually).

If you have completed online check-in and your smartphone or tablet is lost, stolen, or runs out of battery, you can get a complimentary boarding pass at the airport.

It adds: "If passengers dont have a smartphone or tablet, as long as they have already checked-in online before arriving at the airport, they will receive a free of charge boarding pass at the airport. However, they will not be able to access real-time flight updates or benefit from enhanced customer service during any flight disruptions."

If passengers dont check-in online before arriving at the airport, they will be required to pay the airport check-in fee.
