Ryanair booking and luggage query

pixiechick99

Hi there,
Our holiday was booked in January - 2 adults and 3 children. 1 adult has since dropped out, so the hotel cost has been changed and everything - hotel, flights and transfers is all paid for.

So, the one not coming has a place on the flight, all paid for - I knew I'd not get a refund on this. I have paid for a luggage allowance of 15kg for him though.

My question is - will I be able to take that extra bag of 15kg even tho' the passenger's not coming? When I cancelled him the holiday firm I booked through didn't say I needed to speak to Ryanair about cancelling one...though now I'm panicking that I should have, rather than the 4 of us just turn up at the airport - or does it not matter?!

I've been trying to find an email address to contact Ryanair...to no avail. I don't have a landline, just a moblie, so don't really want to ring them:o

Thanks for any help - I'm kind of wishing i'd spent more and travelled with First Choice or someone else...I'm worried about going over my baggage allowance, my hand luggage being too big etc...with 3 girls comng too it's a worry!!!

No, you only have 15kg for yourself.

Thanks for that - it's shame though, I'd hoped that as I've paid for the ticket and baggage allowance that I could still use the allowance...even though the seat won't be used;)

Do you think Ryanair need to know before flying that one of us won't be travelling?

Also be aware that RyanAir pull a unique (as far as I know) stunt of not allowing you to pool baggage allowances in your party, so for instance if you turn up with 2 25Kg suitcases between the 4 of you, you'll have to pay a vast amount in excess charges despite being well within the 60Kg total.

I discovered that after booking too - great rule that one;) 2 lots of 20kg would do myself and my 2 daughters, but we'll just split it into a case each and I'll be weighing them carefully:D The other child coming is my niece so she'll have her own.
I sooo wish I was going with First Choice like I always have previously...!!
