What document should I use for RyanAir check in: non-EU passport or Spanish residency card?
I've booked a flight from Malaga to Ibiza. I'm Moroccan and only have a Moroccan passport. I'm going to be traveling with my Spanish residency card. However, the Ryanair system is asking me for my travel document.
What should I put: my passport or residency card? When I put in my nationality as a Moroccan, the only choice I have for document type is passport.

It doesn't seem like you have much of a choice at this point. Enter your nationality accurately, which means you will have to put in your passport information if that's what the system requires.
However, Ryanair requires that all non-EU/EEA nationals visit a special document check counter at the airport before going through security, where you'll present your travel documents (such as your Spanish residency card) and get a stamp. There are various reports of them being extremely strict about this fairly obscure requirement, denying boarding and forcing passengers to pay for new flights even if they didn't know this was required by Ryanair. So be sure to go to this desk and have your documents checked first.
