Ryanair name misspell

Options
Daniel spelled Daneil instead by mistake. Booking a flight for ten people so was rushed to enter the names before 'timing out'.

Flight only booked today, flight itself is in June.

How much will it cost to amend this does anyone know ?


Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's a spelling error and not a name change, give them a call and ask for a spelling correction.

    It does not cost £1 a minute to call them. They usually charge £10 to remedy a spelling error, or some operators will do it for free. Make sure you do it tomorrow, the longer you leave it the less likely they are to correct it for a low/ no charge.

    I will call tomorrow if I get a chance, I may not as working most of the day then wont be home til about 10 tomorrow night so won't be near a landline and I imagine it will be something like £1 a minute from a mobile.

    Fingers crossed I can change it for free :( Just gave them £800 , my mistake though should have double checked but was scared it timed out cos of my parents slow computer.

    If you do nothing I'm sure that the error will not even be noticed and if it is, when checking in, then just plead ignorance and say you had not noticed the error.

    My neighbour had a similar problem, her name was spelled as Heln rather than Helen. Nobody noticed and she boarded the plane without any problems.
  • This happened to me before, a simple typo, I phoned, they changed it, no charge and even sent me an email to confirm.

    Dont just leave it and chance it. My friend put Chris instead of Christopher and they stopped him at the check-in and he had to pay for a new ticket!!

    Anyone tried using Photoshop to amend name yourself on a PDF boarding card?

    I called them, two names were mispelled, both names Daniel. They fixed the error free of charge, the gentleman on the phone was very, very nice. Thanks Ryanair.

    To this day have NEVER had a problem with Ryanair I find them wonderful and fly with them at least 2x a year, don't know why so many people hate them :o
