RYANAIR - Name spelt wrong on booking

I have just booked a ticket for someone to fly on RYANAIR and have just noticed that I spelt their name incorrectly on the booking.
Instead of XXXERMANN I put XXXERMAN (missed one less N off).
Will this booking be OK and accepted when she turns up at the airport tomorrow ordo I need to do anything?:confused:
I was going to ring them but they wanted £1 @ min per call...:mad:

    As it is part of the surname, you need to call them. It should only cost you £7 to change it x
    Gone ... or have I?

    Firstly, you were not flying with Ryanair.

    Secondly, had your ticket been checked and found to be incorrect, it is possible that you would have been charged an admin fee much higher than £7, plus the difference in cost between what you paid originally and a new ticket.

    It is up to the OP if they wish to take the risk (taking into account that Ryanair tickets on the day of travel are very very expensive).

  • You are allowed up to 3 letters that are incorrect.

    You could always call them up to check.

  • I arranged a last minute club 18-30’s holiday for me and 6 of my mates earlier this year through Thomas Cook. They accidentally put Ms instead of Mr on two of the ticket names. I rang them up when I received the tickets to let them know the mistake, however they instantly tried to pass the blame onto me and said I would have to pay a £25 each way admin fee if I was at fault. They record all there phone calls, so luckily when they replayed the phone call they realised it was there mistake. Some of these companies really try it on with these fees though
  • It doesn't matter if tickets say ms instead or mrs etc as passports don't have your title on anyway!!!
