Where Does Ryanair Store Bookings and Boarding Passes?
Ryanair keeps bookings in your account while boarding passes cache in a private sandbox and Wallet for offline gates.
Last updated
Ryanair bookings attach to the account and email. The app sandbox caches upcoming trips, downloaded passes, and login state. Check-in itself happens server-side in the departure window.
Wallet passes are the reliable artifact at the gate. In-app passes depend on the same cached data, so both fail together if you never opened the trip online. Check in early and download before leaving Wi-Fi.

Frequently asked questions
Do Ryanair boarding passes work offline?
Yes after first open. The pass caches in-app and in the system Wallet. Open it on Wi-Fi before the airport, since gate areas love dead zones. Screenshots are a last resort, not the plan.
How do I move Ryanair bookings to a new phone?
Log in and trips return. The sandbox held cached passes and session only. Re-add Wallet passes on the new phone since those do not transfer automatically.
