Missing Middle Name for Ryanair Flight!!

Orlagh123

Booked my first Ryanair flight from Beauvais to Dublin (return) just there, and checked in as well thinking I'd get it out of the way, but it was only afterwards that I realised I didn't put in my middle name on the boarding passes or anything and its on my passport!

I've seen other posts about this, but just wanted to find out if anyone has flown recently with Ryanair, particularly Beavais to Dublin and the other way around, and had this problem, and what happened? I don't want to have to pay the fees they're charging to change the name!! just wondering should I risk it and will it be alright?!

I have never put my middle name which is on my passport on any airline including Ryanair as recently as last year and it have never been a problem.

Have never used middle name (which is on passport) and haven't had a problem either.

I unintentionally included my middle name on my last passport renewal form where it asks you how you want your name to appear on the passport. Fortunately an intelligent official in the passport office phoned me, drew my attention to the fact that my middle name did not appear on the expiring passport and was I sure I wanted it there so I thanked him for going to the trouble to call me and asked that it be left out.

It doesn't appear to matter but I think it's better to leave out your middle name. Although it's on your birth cert, you are not obliged to have it on your passport, worth bearing in mind when next renewing your passport as you never know when it will cause a problem with US car hire etc.

Very same here, it's never been a problem and I fly on Ryanair about 8 times a year.

I think I probably had it on my old one before I renewed my current passport, so I'm stuck with it for awhile, but I was thinking today I'll leave it out the next time!

Is this the first time you will be flying into Beauvais OP? Just a warning nothing to do with your name or anything. Dont go into departures past security until 45 mins to an hour before your flight. Its a very small departure lounge and very overcrowded. Also there's a far better selection of food and drink before security.
