I've just booked 5 flights (4 adults and 1 child aged 15) with Ryanair but accidentally booked all adult flights. Does anybody know if I'll have to pay to change the booking?

    Afaik, children pay the same as adults after the age of 12. I don't know if ryanair is different, though, sorry.
    Call me what you like, I was a bit "tiddly" when I chose my username :beer:

    The cost of flights is the same for adults and children. I'm just worried that when my 15 year old niece turns up at the airport with an adult ticket she may be refused travel.

    I've tried to ring several times. It sounded like the phone had been answered then after a few seconds I got the engaged sound, then got cut off. I will try again tomorrow.

    I've just phoned Ryanair and got through with no problems today. I was assured that there will be no problem when we check in, as there are adults on the same booking.

    Eh? Why should a 15 year old pay less? They still take up a full seat!

    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. The 5 flights cost £65 each so we are well happy.

    Edit: Do you mean the adult and child price being the same?

    Most airlines class children as adults at a young age.. as unfortunate as it may be for ones bank balance. Better that way than the adult fares subsidising the children ones.

    I was an adult at 12 according to most theme parks.

    This really annoyed me.

    dLockers,

    In disney, you're an adult at age 10!
