Ryanair surname change to double-barrell?

far2812

This has probably been asked before, but I booked our flight for my daughter and I some time back - since the booking, we have changed our daughter's surname to a double barrell so originally for example sarah brown and is now sarah brown-smith

My ex applied for her new passport and it is showing her new name obviously - but my question is, will RyanAir accept the original name ie sarah brown?

Many thanks

I think you'll be OK
Maybe take the old passport along too?

When I changed my name on getting married, everything I read said that the flight booking must be in the same name as the passport you will be travelling on. It might be ok but I would contact the airline to find out for sure.

If it had been the other way around, Sarah Brown to Sarah Smith-Brown it would have been fine as Ryanair would only recognise the last surname.

But you may have a problem the other way around as the booking is Sarah Brown but her passport will considered to be Sarah Smith to Ryanair.

I too think you may be charged a name change fee.

You have after all, changed the name.

I did try ringing and after 3 days - finally got through!

So just an update - they changed the surname for a £10 fee and were very helpful!
