Ryanair- confirmation but haven't taken money

NoAngel

Hi

My Mum and I booked some flights with Ryanair on 7th March. I've had the confirmation email and according to their website the payment has been received. However my mum is positive that the money hasn't left her account. How long can it take? Surely over a month is too long?

That does sound odd. It's usually a matter of days. I'd double-check the account and if there's no charge, give them a call.

Interesting. Have you tried logging on to Manage my Booking on the website and seeing if your booking still shows as "Confirmed"

If so you may well have got away with it. I'm sure there has been another thread here a while back where someone had a similar situation. Ryanair's website is prone to issues so it wouldn't surprise me.

If the website still shows CONFIRMED then I'd be tempted to say nothing. Just check the booking every few weeks to see. However, a disclaimer, if you do say nothing you do risk not having a flight! Do you feel lucky punk?!

It definitely says Confirmed and the amount owing is 0. Feeling lucky then

Im with Natwest and Ryanair always take a couple of days to take the money.

If you have a confirmation number then you have a booking. The money will leave your account in the next couple of days.

I was tempted to say the same... But the OP says they booked on 7th March?!

Now... Delete this thread in case O'Lairey is sat at home browsing!

Yes, like I said, 6 weeks. I would of spotted it sooner but mum paid and she doesn't do online banking.

I made a cash withdrawal in Belgium once and the money wasn't deducted from my UK account until six months later. Give it time.
