Slight differences in title (mrs/mr) not name on flight booking with budget airline.

I fly to Majorca next week with my girlfriend.

Stupidly I have only just noticed now that our names are slightly wrong on the booking. The booking was made through an independent company.

I am booked as Ms R * ( i am male)
My GF is booked as Mr L *.

So it is only our titles that are wrong.

Do you think this will be OK if we head to the airport with this in our booking? And how should it show up on our boarding pass. Will Ryanair charge us full price for the name change since we are not actually changing the names only the titles.

Call Ryanair. They are usually good at making minor changes free of charge.

Two things - try Ryanair's call centre as suggested by luci. Expensive phonecall and you might have to wait but if you claim it was a genuine error they might make the change for you free of charge. If they say you will have to pay the name change charge, which is huge, get in contact with the company that booked the flights on your behalf. They may say that they only do this as a courtesy to their customers but if they made the error I would say they still have a duty to fix it on your behalf.

We did online checkin with Ryanair, and yes it shows up on the boarding pass.

I have flew before as Mr (I am female) on my boarding pass with no problems before although this was with a different airline. (It was a group booking that I had no involvement in overseeing/checking etc and so I wasn't aware of this mistake until I arrived at the airport, to make matters worse, my first name was spelt wrong and had actually become a guys name on the pass also! No one batted an eyelid).

To avoid the expensive phone calls to Ryanair, first of all, register at http://www.1899.com/index2.php , read the instructions for registration.

Then, if you find Ryanair's number on https://www.saynoto0870.com and call them on the Irish landline number quoted using the prefix you will have been told about on 1899.com, the actual cost of the call will be 1p per minute, not 10p per minute.

For the twenty minutes you may be hanging on the phone for, this is one of the most cost effective ways of contacting them

I was under the impression that you had to have your first names on Ryanair bookings? If you DO indeed have your first names showing as well, I dont envisage any problem at all.

I flew in December with boarding passes that had me as Mrs instead of Miss, it wasn't until i was actually on my outbound flight that i realised it was incorrect. Nobody said anything or questioned it. My other travel documents had the correct title on, only my tickets were incorrect. British passports don't have a title in them so it shouldn't matter. Even though the genders are incorrect for the titles on your tickets i can't see there being a problem, but with it being Ryan Air i would still check it out. I flew with Thomas Cook on a package holiday, they are probably less bothered about minor errors. I've also flown BA with my name spelt incorrectly and it wasn't a problem either.
