The majority of airlines now only use digital boarding passes and will not print one out for you at the airport.

Nowadays, you will be sent a digital file with your boarding pass in it or you can add it to your Google or Apple wallet on your phone.

However, Ryanair and easyJet passengers are being urged to check if the airport they are flying to or from accepts digital boarding passes.

On the easyJet website, it says: “The majority of our airports accept mobile boarding passes however, the airports listed below do not currently accept mobile boarding passes.

“If you're flying from an airport that doesn't currently accept mobile boarding passes, please check in online at www.easyJet.com and print out a paper boarding pass for your flight."

The list of airports that do not accept mobile boarding passes includes popular destinations like Marrakech and Sharm El Sheikh.

Ryanair’s website says: “Passengers flying from Morocco must check in online as normal and then present their DBP at the airport to collect a printed boarding pass, with the exception of those flying from Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, Tangier, Nador or Oujda, where you can now use your digital boarding pass on the Ryanair app.”
