Ryanair postpones phase-out of paper boarding passes — Is Mallorca really ready?

Answer

Why did Ryanair delay the switch to digital boarding passes?

Ryanair pushed back the deadline so the change would not fall in the middle of the autumn school holiday travel peak. That gives airports and passengers a little more time to adapt before the switch becomes final. For Mallorca, the timing matters because busy departure days can quickly become more stressful if systems fail.
