BAD news for Ryanair travellers – starting tomorrow, you’ll need to get to the airport earlier under strict new rules.
From November 10, the airline is closing its bag drop off service one hour before departure.
Currently, passengers are allowed to drop their bags up until 40 minutes before departure.
This means that with the new rules passengers will lose 20 minutes.
The change was announced back in April with the airline claiming that it will give passengers 20 per cent more time to get through security and passport control.
However, it means that for passengers who like to arrive at the airport at the last minute, will now need to be there earlier.

The rule change will only impact passengers who are checking in bags though.
So if you pack light with just hand luggage, you can still arrive at the airport closer to your flight departure time.
Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady, said: “From Tue, 10 Nov, bag drop services at all Ryanair airports will close 60 minutes before scheduled departure, instead of the current 40 minutes.
“This small change will give the 20 per cent of Ryanair passengers who check in a bag, more time to clear airport security and passport control queues and get to their departure gate before boarding begins, particularly during busy travel periods when airport queues can be longer.
“We remind passengers using airport bag drop services to arrive at the airport in good time and ensure they have checked in and dropped their bags before check-in and bag drop closes 60 minutes before departure.
“The remaining 80 per cent of passengers who check in online and do not check in a bag are unaffected by this change.”
