    I booked flights for one of my Directors in the name of Mick instead of Michael - he got it changed FOC over the phone.

    I've read the posts from last year and wondered if anyone had any more recent information. My daughters is travelling with friends and one parent booked for all but spelt her first name wrongly Holly instead of Hollie. I cannot find anything on the Ryannair site other than a full name change at £95. I've filled in the advance passenger info as requested but still couldn't change the spelling - anyone else this has happened to and risked going to airport? Coming back they are flying Easy Jet and there is advice on their website about this same situation.

    I did something similar with my Dad, he is known by his middle name and I booked the tickets with his known, not given name. When I realised my error I rang the helpline of Ryanair and was told it wouldn't be a problem as its a first name not surname. When my parents checked in, it was mentioned but they let them board.
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
    'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    I honestly wonder just how far Ryanair think they can push their Clients-they seem to have a death wish!

    I was told last week that in May they will charge £10 to check in on line, £20 at the airport and later in the year they will not have any check in desks at airports at all!

    Frankly, they don't deserve anyones business and sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost!

    A very strange idea!:rolleyes:

    How many other airlines do you know who are still making a profit? I'm sure O'Leary is extremely worried about those chickens!:rotfl:

    i've booked to go with ryanair in the easter holiday the flights are costing me £20 each return with online check in i used my electron visa so would not grumble if i had to pay online check in fee.... i've saved on card charges...........


    as for the Name thing on the 1st post it was changed free of charge..... just missed a L out of surname..
  • Hi, hope someone can help! Hubby has filled me in on line as Mr instead of Mrs rest of details are correct ie. first name/surname/address, but I really am worried, how can I change this, without incurring a whooping charge?
