Ryanair - how does it work at the airport?

Excuse the naivety but I've never used them before.

I will be checking in online and just taking a small backpack to fit their dimensions.
Do I still need to go to the check in desk?

No, if you’ve already got your boarding pass you can head straight through security.

Great thank you

If you are taking hand luggage only then go straight to security. Remember your clear bag for liquids/gels/pastes and make sure your electrical devices are charged.
