Ryanair has announced that since the launch of the SMS booking confirmation in association with 15Below, over 100,000 passengers have opted to use the service.

Costing just €1, passengers opting to take advantage of the service are no longer required to print off their confirmation before checking-in online.

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Ryanair is delighted that so many passengers have opted for our new SMS confirmation service in the first month. The service delivers passenger booking confirmation numbers directly to their mobile within 24 hours ensuring their booking information is close to hand when they go to check-in online.

"The service has proved hugely popular in Italy, the UK and Spain, and even Vatican residents have given the service their blessing. Ryanair expects usage to grow strongly throughout Europe as passengers continue to snap up Europe's guaranteed lowest fares from ryanair.com."
