Hi Everyone -
So I am hoping that there are some tech saavy people out there who can help me with my question...
I am flying out of Santiago first thing Monday morning on Ryanair. Today I got an email from them about checking in online so as to avoid paying them 50E (please!) if I check in at the airport. Part of the process involves printing out my boarding pass. The only tech device that I have with me is a smartphone. How do I go about getting the downloaded boarding pass into printed form? If you're into technology this is probably an unbelievably dumb question, but oh well.
Muchas gracias to anyone who can explain the procedure in VERY basic terms.
Thank you all so much. It looks like I will probably have to use @Bradypus's method. I am currently walking the Camino Ingles and I noticed that Pilgrim House is not open on Sunday which is when I will be back in Santiago.
I just noticed this as well. Since I am USA and not EU I will next try SYates suggestion.Just looked again at the Ryanair website. Seems that mobile boarding passes are only available for EU/EEA citizens. I'm a Brit so it worked for me before but probably best for @intrepidtraveler to find somewhere to print out her boarding pass after all
Thank you - this sounds straightforward enough.Where are you staying in Santiago @intrepidtraveler ? I don't have a printer (yet), so I can't help you, but I would suggest that you try if the place you stay at has one. Or ask kindly at the hotel San Martin Pineiro, they have 24/7 hour reception and a printer and speak English. They might charge you a small fee.
In general it works like this:
Forward the email you got (with the boarding pass attached) to the person that has access to a printer.
They print out the attachment and you are good to go/fly.
Buen Camino, SY

Crazy that they still require you to print!
Yes. They make a ton of money on the indecisive and those who don't read the fine print!This is my first time flying Ryanair and to me they seem to take the nickel-and-dime you approach to a whole new level.
I am all for making those who don't bother with the fineprint pay more so others can fly for little next to nothing, but one has to admit that depending on the type of travel one is doing, access to a printer before getting to the airport, after you are emailed your boarding pass, can be a challenge. Perhaps airports could have printing stations. But airlines would not be happy.As is usually the case, only the non-tech savvy. and folks who do not read the fine print are penalized. Y'all gotta pay attention.
Ryanair have an app for smartphones which allows you to check-in and download a virtual boarding pass which is stored on the phone. You can then show the downloaded pass on your phone at security and the boarding gate. There are a few airports where this is not accepted but is possible in Santiago. No need for a printed version though I do like to have one when possible.

There are a number of albergues along the way with printing facilities. In the past, I used an internet cafe in Santiago and an albergue in Melide. An albergue in Triacastela had facilities to book a flight but did not have Adobe Reader installed which was needed for the pop up screen to display and print the pass. I have also heard that you can get a print out in the Parador but dont know if thats trueHi Everyone -
