    Have a look at previous threads on a similar subject. I have a feeling that if you actually need to do anything, talking to them about a 'spelling error' rather than a 'name change' is the way forward.

    The same happened to me in April - I spelt Emilia instead of Emelia - I called them up the next day - the phone was answered in 2 minutes and the really nice lady changed it for no charge as she said it was just the one letter - I'd had a sleepless night worrying about a £70 name change fee as it was a £20 ticket - so it was a lovely surprise:j
  • Thanks Incapuppy!

    Just rang them on the £1 a minute phone line - nice as pie, changesd it right away no cost, even said 'have a good day' at the end - cost of phone call £3 (2 mins 34 secs)

    Hate to say it - Changed my opinion of Ryanair - Friendly & Helpful!

    My FIL had to book us tickets to get back from Spain, after hubby's accident, he put my name as Kaitlin, and it is Kate, no problem at all, that was with Thomsonfly x
