Forgive if this was asked before - i cannot find on Boards

I have a return ticket to Warsaw travelling out on July 7, Return on July 18.

If i don't use the outbound (July7), can i still use the return (18th) ?

Am getting conflicting advice online

I know the flight cannot be cancelled and i did not buy the option to insure / change dates etc

Yea you can use the return. Ryanair sells essentially two one way tickets, each Independent

A relief that - Many thanks, Vegan !

Incidentally, shd i still check in ie. for the 1st leg of flite i am not taking or just ignore it ?

vegandinner

You can ignore

Maybe give them a ring if you can get through and double check about this, I was always under the impression that if you missed your first leg of your ticket, your return is cancelled, maybe I'm wrong but worth checking with them.

Thanks again Vegan and Paul ..

^^^ what i mean by conflicting advice when i checked earlier online ..

In general, you lose the whole flite if you fail to show .. tho Ryan air seems an exception to this - as Vegan said above ..

Unless smone has had different experience ?

Ryanair are a point to point airline. Most legacy airlines state in their terms and conditions that flights booked must be taken in sequence - this does not apply to Ryanair.

Yes as has been stated above Ryanair return bookings are essentially two one-way tickets so you do not need to take the outbound flight.

Aer Lingus is the same, but only for European flights. Flights to North America must be taken in sequence. For most European carriers excluding low-cost airlines, if you miss a leg all subsequent legs will be cancelled.
