Title: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: The_nun on April 18, 2012, 07:05:44 PM Never flown with them before but booked a flight a few weeks ago in their sale.
Here's the problem. I have just noticed I have put Mr on mine by mistake. I have tried to ring them but they are closed and the only number open is a premium one. We fly at 7 am tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas if they will refuse me or what they might charge me extra tomorrow? Signed Onedumbbird.

Mo, dont wish to be a doom monger but Ryanair really prey on this kind of stuff. They are not, in any way shape or form customer friendy Id budget £60 to change at airport Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: craigbetts on April 18, 2012, 07:15:30 PM £60 minimum, I changed 2 tickets by name last year and it was £200. The flights were only worth £220!
Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: Rod Paradise on April 18, 2012, 07:29:11 PM If they get arsey argue smart - point out that Mr, Mrs, Ms are all honourifics and as such you are legally entitled to use any one you wish & they've no right to stop you. As long as you've your name correct & your passport No correct they can only politely usher Mr & Mr Nun onto their plane.
Is it right in law ?- I dunno - but you know for a fact that they don't....... Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: The_nun on April 18, 2012, 07:35:25 PM OH DEAR..flights only cost me £28 for both of us return to Corfu.
Rod, I will struggle remembering the word Honourifics let alone the rest lol. Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: Graham C on April 18, 2012, 07:43:01 PM TBH, they should do it for free, it's an honest mistake and an obvious one. I flew with someone else but spelt a mates name wrong when flying to Germany once but they were as good as gold about it as it was an obvious typo. Same thing here. Budget for it just in case but I think they'll do the logical thing and realise that Maureen isn't a Mr's name
Have a nice trip! Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: The_nun on April 18, 2012, 07:48:26 PM Cheers Silo, cant believe how bloody thick have been, booked loads for his mam n dad and us over the years and never made a mistake. Feel ill wont sleep lol.
Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: TommyD on April 18, 2012, 07:48:42 PM While I'd have some cash on me just in case, I'd be walking up with confidence and selling that there is no problem. Show your ticket, be as polite as you always are and if they mention it show shock and amusement.
Hopefully you'll be fine. Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: Claw75 on April 18, 2012, 07:50:47 PM afaik the name has to be exactly as it appears on your passport, and it's differences to that that can cause problems. as titles aren't on there i shouldn't think it would be a problem.
edit: basically what Rod said Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: The_nun on April 18, 2012, 08:00:21 PM OK ty all, stood in front of mirror practising looks of Doh's.
Just looked at the boarding passes i have printed and no Claw there are no titles on them. However saying that I wont match the API info. Be right back, off to mould a penis out of Reece's plasticine just encase.

Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: smashedagain on April 18, 2012, 08:08:33 PM Will they really notice the difference between mr n mrs. I doubt it.
Gl and have fun Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: technolog on April 18, 2012, 08:12:33 PM If you feel the need to ring them Mo, rather than use the premium rate number, try searching for an alternative, standard rate number using http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php (http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php)

Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: StuartHopkin on April 18, 2012, 09:47:17 PM Shouldnt be a problem, find the Ryanair desk at the airport and they will double check it and then stamp the boarding pass to show its okay. No one will bat an eyelid after that.
Title: Re: OOOpps Help with Ryanair Post by: The_nun on April 19, 2012, 05:38:22 AM Well either they didn't notice or I look like a tranny.
