Doctor instead of Mister entereds on booking details - PROBLEM or not?

Hi!

Friend has - eventually - managed to book on line with RyanAir.

But entered as DOCTOR rather than MISTER.

He hasn't yet downloaded or confirmed his on-line check in, but wondered if it will need to be changed beforehand & what they'll charge to do this.

Their site isnt the easiest to navigate,

Thanks in advance

VB

    The title is not important, so long as the name is ok just forget about it.

    Ive heard of people putting miss/mr etc for the wrong sex. Its not important.

    It doesn't say either in your passport, o how would they ever know? If often book flights under Dr but it doesn't say that anywhere on my ID. As Mr Lahey says, they won't care.

    Shouldn't matter. I am a doctor and book with either Dr. or Mr. as the mood takes me.

    Passports have an entry to show the Dr title, mine does. That said I often travel as Mrs with no problems.

    Could you have a look at my bad back please?;)
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    I can if you want, but I'm not a medical doctor. ;-)
