Rushed Ryanair booking - oops made a boob or two!

Well, in my hurry to grab a couple of cheap flights to Munich, I entered in the wrong dates not once, but twice!!:rotfl:
So I fly out on November 12th and instead of returning on the 14th I selected 28th!! Boob number 1 :rotfl:
Never mind the flights are only £5 ,I will just book a single for the Sunday and guess what - Boob number 2 I put in the wrong date again and now have an incoming flight from Munich on Friday 12th, the day I am flying out.:rotfl:
Eventually, once the Samaritans had calmed me down, I booked single flights for the 14th!!
So with all my comings and goings, will I have to notify Ryanair, or will it be ok just to rely on Online booking and not, repeat not, book in for my other flights?

It would probbaly be courteous to let them know so they can free up the seat and allow someone else to book it (well them, lol), in advance0

Given that Ryanair will not refund you anything for the flights I wouldn't let them know -
Ryanair have been most discourteous in every dealing Ive ever had with them - I wouldnt be in a rush to do them a favour!!0 -
I echo the above.
Ryanair will never go out of the way
to help you,unless you agree to pay some type of
extortionate rate.0 -
I agree on that but also someone else who urgently needs a seat somewhere may not be able to take it, even though there is no intention to use it.0
-
If someone needs a seat that urgently they will probably be on standby and therefore able to take the free seat when no-one turns up for it.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

also if tickets are still only a fiver a piece you can probably say its not a busy flight.
You will spend more money on phone calls than you would get as a refund so dont bother calling them0 -

I did this once, just being courteous, i booked flights for £1 total cost £2 and couldn't use them.
I rang there number, to be courteous, and believe me they wasn't bothered one bit, infact i stated that i wouldn't be needing the flights anymore, and the lady just said 'ok thanks for letting us know, goodbye'
to which i replied would you not like the booking reference number, and she said ok.
If i'd not asked then she wouldn't have asked for the reference number.
And to boot, it cost me £6 for the call
I won't be doing that again0
