Can SSR requests be submitted without prior notice?

Submitting SSR requests typically requires advance notice because airlines, including Ryanair, need adequate time to prepare and arrange for any special assistance or accommodations required for passengers. This could include mobility assistance, dietary needs, or service animal requests, which all require proactive planning to ensure that the necessary resources are available at the time of travel.

Advance notice allows the airline to coordinate with staff, reserve appropriate equipment or support, and ensure compliance with regulations and policies. While it may seem convenient to allow last-minute requests, these often cannot be accommodated due to logistical constraints and the need for proper arrangements to be made ahead of time. Therefore, it is crucial to submit requests as early as possible to ensure that the airline can meet the specific needs of the traveler effectively.
