Ryanair passengers risk €200 fee over common mistake

Passengers flying with Ryanair should stay alert. A common oversight could lead to unexpected extra costs. 

That’s according to the Daily Express.

The most common Ryanair fine

Ryanair passengers can change the name on their ticket online up to one day before departure—but it comes at a price. The fee varies depending on the route and day of the week and can reach up to €200. Name changes can be made by contacting the airline directly, visiting the airport desk, or using customer service support—the latter being the most expensive option.

You won’t be charged if your name was changed due to marriage or legal reasons and your passport was updated before the flight. In addition, Ryanair allows passengers to update their first and last names once for free within 48 hours of booking.

The airline also permits minor corrections of up to three characters in a name free of charge, provided the update is made at least 48 hours before the scheduled flight. Middle names or double-barrel surnames are not required on tickets.
