Question

Anybody flew with an internal flight in Spain by Ryanair? Do they check tests or passes or passport is enough?

Answers

These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

“Internally passport is enough except the islands.”

“It depends where the flight is bound for. For example I used to live in Mallorca before and they always checked my residency card (and test if I stayed more than 72hrs outside the island).But then I went to Granada and Barcelona and they didn’t check anything before boarding”

“id or passport except for Canarias and baleares”

“Only Passport or Residency cards are enough. Also they’ll check the proof of Covid-19 vaccination certification or any Negative RT PCR reports..!”
