Ryanair - name change required?

ZappaMan · 2012-10-15 19:55:48

Hi, My brother booked flights for himself and myself with Ryanair a couple of weeks ago. Only problem is that he booked it under my English name whereas the Irish version of my name is on my passport (I stupidly forgot to mention that to him).

Hi,

There isn't too much difference between the names - for example, Sean O Riordáin as opposed to Sean Riordan, but even so, is this going to be a problem at the gate?

Name change is €110, might be cheaper to rebook the flight. I'm pretty sure they won't allow you to fly on a name not matching your passport.

You will probaly get away with it but there is one other thing you can do. Now i'm not saying you should but you are able to edit the name in the pdf before you print it but if your caught (unlikely) you will be in trouble.
