Recently, airline Ryanair announced that they’ll be making changes to their boarding passes from 12 November, 2026.

From that date, they explained, they’ll be getting rid of paper passes completely to “reduce costs, improve service, streamline rebooking, and save 300 tonnes of paper annually”.

Here’s how that’ll work, as well as the latest boarding pass rules from various airlines:

From 12 November 2026, they’ll only offer digital boarding passes.

Before arriving at the airport, check in on Ryanair’s site or app. You can do this from 60 days to two hours before your flight departs.

“After check-in your DBP [digital boarding pass] will appear automatically in your Ryanair App,” the airline’s site reads.

You will need to present this at security and at the boarding gate. You’ll get reminders to check in online both at 48 and 24 hours before departure.

“If any passenger arrives at [the] airport but hasn’t checked in online (having ignored these reminders), they will still be required to pay the airport check-in fee,” Ryanair’s site reads. This is usually £55.

If you’ve already checked in online or on the app and you lose your phone or tablet or its battery dies, Ryanair says “you will receive a free of charge boarding pass at the airport”.

Additionally, from 10 November 2026, check-in and bag drop will close 60 minutes before departure rather than Ryanair’s current 40 minutes.

You can check in digitally via Manage My Booking online or through their app from 24 hours before departure. Once you’ve done that, you can either download or print your boarding pass.

Alternatively, you can check in at the airport at British Airway’s kiosks and they’ll print a paper boarding pass.

“All you need is your booking reference (PNR) or passport,” their site explained.

If you lose your digital boarding pass for any reason, you can “print it again at a check-in kiosk at the airport”.

You can check in online between 30 days and two hours before your flight departs via Manage Bookings on their site or through the app.

Then, you’ll be able to see and download your boarding passes. “The best way to store your boarding passes is to use the free easyJet mobile app or you can choose to print them out,” they explained, adding, ” You cannot use a PDF scan of your boarding pass on your mobile device as the airport security team will be unable to scan them”.

If you lose your boarding pass but have checked in, they will be able to print them again, they added.

You can make changes to your flight up to two hours before departure online and 90 minutes to an hour before departure in the airport, but you’ll need new boarding passes.

Kids under two who will sit on their parents’ laps don’t need a boarding pass, but if they have their own seat, they do. In that case, “You may not be able to check in online so if you have any difficulty please check in at the airport at least two hours before your flight.”

They also add that the following airports in their network don’t currently accept mobile boarding passes, and you will need to print yours out from easyJet’s site instead:

• 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.

You can check in online using “Manage My Booking” from their site or via the Jet 2 app from 28 days to six hours before departure to access your boarding pass. Then, you can download it to your phone or print it off.

Alternatively, you can use their kiosks in the airport from three hours to 40 minutes before departure for a paper boarding pass.

“At the airports, our check-in desks generally open at least 2 hours 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time – see the check-in opening times at your airport,” their site reads.

“Please arrive at the airport in good time, as our check-in desks will close 40 minutes before your scheduled departure time. By this point, you must have completed the check-in process.”

You can check in online via My Booking on the site or through the app from 48 hours to two hours before departure (except for Mexico and Jamaica; these are only available from 24 hours before departure). Then, your boarding passes should be available for download or printing.

If you don’t want to do that or if it’s not possible in the airport you’re travelling from, you can go to their kiosks for printed boarding passes. And if you pay for certain features, including Premium flights or Extra Legroom, your online check-in will be available 14 days before departure.

Some of TUI’s partner airlines will charge for airport check-ins, their site added, so check beforehand. And “you’ll need to check in for your outbound and inbound flights separately”.

For children under two years old, they will be issued a boarding pass but not a seat.

And if you’re flying with TUI Airways but lose or damage your boarding pass, you can “reprint your boarding pass up to six hours before your flight departure”.

The London Marathon’s 2026 runners broke plenty of records. We had not one, but two, sub-two-hour finish times from winner Sebastian Sawe and runner-up Yomif Kejelcha, respectively – a feat not recorded under normal marathon conditions before.

Runner Tigst Assefa smashed her then-world-beating 2025 time with a new women’s world record of 2:15:41, too.

Remarkably, that meant Assefa finished an entire marathon before the last wave of non-elite runners had even started the race.

But people don’t just tune into the 26.2 mile race for the displays of athleticism. The London Marathon is also associated with star power, too, and this year was no different: Cynthia Erivo, Tilly Ramsay, and even Daddy Pig made an appearance.

Which begs the question: how did they get on?

The Wicked star finished the marathon with a remarkably fast time of 3:21:40.

For context, the average woman’s marathon finish time in the UK is just over five hours.

It’s a new personal best for the actor, who announced the achievement on Instagram to praise from stars like Gigi Hadid and Gordon Ramsay.

Tilly Ramsay, whose family members, including dad Gordon, have previously taken part in triathlons, ran her first-ever marathon this year.

She finished in a great time of 4:01:26. Her father shared a post after the event which read, “Such a proud dad today watching my little girl @tillyramsay run her first ever marathon!”

She ran with Flora for Feeding Britain.

Fitness influencer Joe Wicks’ finish time was 5:51:54, a second after Daddy Pig’s (yes, he of Peppa Pig fame).

That’s because the pair were running together, with Daddy Pig raising money for the National Deaf Children’s Society.

Wicks also ran with his brothers.

Alexandra Burke, who finished the race in 4:25:03, said on Instagram, “I never take it for granted that I’m able to move my body and do things that challenge me!”

She raised money for the Melissa Bell Foundation and Parkinsons UK.

Fern Brady, who was running her first-ever marathon and finished in 5:49:12, joked on Instagram: “That was piss easy and at no point did I lose my grip on reality or believe I was crying hysterically and making a holy show of myself when in fact there was no tears coming out my eyes.”

She raised money for Autistica UK.

Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott Claus, meanwhile, finished at 4:25:35 – running for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

“This one’s for you Grandma,” she titled her post-run Instagram post.

Gone are the days of the same old wedding ceremony: traditional white dress for the bride, tuxedo for the groom, and style over comfort.

We might have had centuries of the same, but that’s all about to change now that Gen Z is entering the marriage market.

A new report by Bridebook reveals what to expect the generation to prioritise when it comes to their big day – and you’d get no prizes for guessing it’s not what you grandmother would’ve planned for them.

While previously, the run up to weddings is seen as the most stressful time in the couples’ lives, Gen Z is baking their obsession with wellness into the ceremony itself.

According to Bridebook, wedding parties of the happy couple should prepare themselves for starting the day with a guided breathwork session.

The ceremony itself will feature aura photography, or even energy readings, the report suggests, in a move away from traditional photoshoots with the couple and their families.

You might even have to take a day off work, as more than a third have moved to a weekday wedding to save costs, according to Bridebook.

But, don’t worry, there is still something about Gen Z weddings that would make your elders proud, as they’re 25% more likely to get married in a place of worship than previous generations.

Although, er, just don’t tell them that this could be more to do with their penchant for ‘dark romance’ and gothic cottagecore aesthetics than their devoutness.

Of course, this commitment to drama will also translate to their fashion, accessories, and drink options.

So to prepare you for your next guest experience, we’ve rounded up everything you’ll see at a Gen Z wedding.

A senior Green MP has distanced herself from her party leader Zack Polanski after he suggested Donald Trump is worse than Vladimir Putin.

The Green Party leader told Italian newspaper Repubblica last week: “As horrendous as Putin is… I’ve never seen him threaten genocide.

“I’ve never seen him threaten to wipe out a civilisation… Starmer’s so-called special relationship is more of a danger than what Putin is doing in Ukraine.”

But speaking to the BBC’s Politics Live show on Monday, the Greens’ leader in Westminster Ellie Chowns said: “That’s not my position, let me be clear.

“I’ve seen Vladimir Putin himself launch an illegal invasion of Ukraine, he’s responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. Absolutely despicable.”

Asked if Polanski – who is not an MP – was suggesting Trump is worse than Putin, Chowns said: “I wouldn’t have said that, that’s not my view. I am however deeply concerned about the actual actions of Donald Trump.”

The MP for North Herefordshire then turned the focus onto Trump’s conflict in Iran, calling it “clearly illegal”.

The Greens have made their opposition to Trump very clear, with the party leader even suggesting the UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases – and leave Nato.

Polanski also faced scrutiny on Monday morning when he clashed with Good Morning Britain presenter Ed Balls, accusing the show of “shock-jock tactics”.

A Labour spokesperson said: “Even Zack Polanski’s own MPs know his comments on Vladimir Putin are appalling. He must retract his comments and stop whitewashing Russia’s barbaric war in Ukraine.”

Defence minister Luke Pollard said: “Even Zack Polanski’s Leader in Parliament doesn’t agree with his disgraceful comments about Vladimir Putin.

“This is a new low for Polanski’s Green Party – and shows why he can’t be trusted with our national security. It’s time Zack Polanski urgently stopped pandering to Putin and made clear that he will stop attempting to whitewash Russia’s barbaric action in Ukraine.

“While Prime Minister Keir Starmer has offered serious, calm-headed leadership at a time of international uncertainty, the Greens can’t even agree on who our allies are. They are just not serious.”

Keir Starmer is to face a crunch vote on whether a sleaze probe should be launched into claims he misled parliament over the Peter Mandelson scandal.

In a major blow for the prime minister, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said MPs should decide whether or not the Privileges Committee holds an investigation into the prime minister.

Starmer has previously insisted that “due process” was followed in the appointment of Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to Washington.

He also insisted last week that “no pressure whatsoever” was placed on the Foreign Office to make sure the shamed former Labour peer had the necessary security clearance to take up the post.

But it emerged two weeks ago that UK Security Vetting had recommended that Mandelson not be given clearance.

Sir Olly Robbins – the former top civil servant in the Foreign Office who was sacked by Starmer for not telling him about the UKSV verdict – told MPs last week that there was “constant pressure” from No.10 to get Mandelson in place.

Hoyle confirmed that the House of Commons will be given a vote on Tuesday on whether the Privileges Committee should carry out its own inquiry into the row.

It is understood Labour MPs will be whipped to vote against an inquiry, with party chiefs insisting it is a political stunt ahead of the May 7 elections.

But critics have accused Starmer of running scared of his own MPs by refusing to give them a free vote as he fears many of them will vote against him.

A Labour insider told HuffPost UK: “It shouldn’t be a problem but the PMs political and moral authority slipping away – MPs won’t want to go into bat on something that the think will blow back in their faces.”
