I booked a flight for myself a few weeks ago, and later added a second person, so made a second booking for the same flight.

Just went to check in online today, and just to make sure that both of us checked in OK, I wanted to check both in at the same time. I opened two windows, entered my booking ref in one, and the other booking ref in the other. Clicked 'check in' in each window, filled in the relevant passport details in each window, clicked through to the next screen.

Then clicked 'Check in' in the first window, got the boarding pass on the screen, printed it. Switched to the second window, clicked check in - and got the first boarding pass details up again.

Ended up having to shut both windows, open a new one, and fill in all my passport info again.

It seems to have a problem with multiple windows once you go beyond a certain point. Not a situation that's going to happen very oftern, but just be aware of it as it could save you having to start from scratch.

You need to check in Person A and then Person B if they are on different bookings

Not a consumer issue

May be more suited to transport or aviation

Which isn't a "Driving licence", unfortunately.

Why doesn't he have a passport?

just an update on this: I received a letter from Ryanair this morning as I wrote to them about this.
This is what they said:
"I wish to clarify that a passenger, who arrives at the airport with a valid provisional driving licence containing a photo, will be accepted for their scheduled flight. Please accect our apologies for any misinformation and if you should have any further queries, please do not hesitate in contacting us"...

So mystery solved....
you need a passport for online check in, but a driving licence (full or provisional) will do for checking in at the airport....I was thinking that TBH because all they need it for is photographic ID and both provisional and full licences are official photographic ID's.

I am a Canadian university student on exchange in Bergen, Norway and am working on a research paper regarding Ryanair and Singapore Airlines.

If you have any experiences regarding these two airlines, please post.

Some areas of interest include: service, interior cabin atmosphere (cleanliness, cabin spacing, odor, etc), company website comments, staff (flight attendants, captain, customer support etc) and any other comments regarding these two companies.

Let me know what you think!

Jaysoose · 27-10-2008 02:22PM

There is a huge thread on ryanair at the top of the page.

ajsbrown34 · 27-10-2008 03:04PM

I see that, but all posts are regarding Ryanair's boarding pass policies. Nothing to do with my thread!

Google is your friend, ask him

Could be a number of issues, but basically amounts to User Error.
This is a terrible thing to do on the Web. Shared browser cookies, sessions based on ip, anything could cause this behaviour.

Why did u not do it one at a time?

Figured it was probably something like that, just wanted to point out that running two sessions together doesn't work, just in case anyone else is as dumb as me

Similar thing here but slightly different ... I was booking 2 flights with Ryanair as wanted to fly somewhere via London. Had both booking screens open at the same time so as to judge the arrival time of flight #1 and departure time of flight #2. Never copped session/cookies etc.

Anyway, came to the booking screen and when trying to confirm the 2nd flight I got an error saying transaction was being processed. Both browsers hung.

A while later I got a confirmation email for both flights ... thing is, neither of them have come off my credit card yet and its over a week since booking!
Havent flown in a while but they were usually fairly quick at taking cash!

GreeBo · 29-10-2008 03:21PM

If you need to do something like this in future, open the one you want to refer to first, then open another browser/window/tab and login etc again for the new PNR.

Saint_Mel · 29-10-2008 04:57PM

Just hoping they take the money soon cos I dont want any hassle with them cancelling or any problems with the booking seeing as I have a confirm code.

I noticed while just checking in for a Ryanair flight that you can now check in without the confirmation number. You just have to supply your email address, start and destination and the date of the flight. Handy if you dont have your confirmation number.

I got a round trip to Birmingham for €12.00 all in the other day. Whats not to

about Ryanair?:D

IrishHomer · 12-11-2008 02:15PM

Hi,

Some months back there was a discussion on Today FM with Ryanair and the Ryanair spokesman said we can avoid the €10 fee for processing Credit Cards if we use a MBNA Visa.

I rang Ryanair got through to English staff and they didn't know what i was talking about.

Does anyone out there please know what Credit Card if any that i can get to avoid this €10 fee on each flight booked with Ryanair?

Paulw · 12-11-2008 02:20PM

Never heard of that before, but then again, Ryanair and MBNA do have some specific card offers - http://www.mbna.ie/creditcards/ireland_travel.html

theteal · 12-11-2008 02:38PM

it's the visa electron card that doesn't add an extra €10 to your purchase. if anybody knows where to get one of these in ireland, i'm all ears

sam34 · 12-11-2008 03:02PM

i have an mbna card (not the ryanair one) and still get charged the fee

penexpers · 12-11-2008 03:40PM

I think it used to be free with the Ryanair visa card but that's been withdrawn.

I dont think they are available here, the misses has one but she got it in Italy, its basically the same thing as the 3v. she puts credit on it through the post office over there.

I think Halifax are offering them. Not 100% but there was something recently about Halifax not joining Laser as they have the Visa debit card.

Halifax have a visa debit card and not a visa Electron card. They are different AFAIK.

Any advise on this would be appreciated.

Attempted to book a Ryanair flight a while back - went through to the confirm stage - clicked confirm but the internet page went to an error page before I got a confirm number. Checked my e-mail and received no confirmation so I assumed that the flight booking did not go through.

Went back the 2 days later and booked a slightly different flight instead (different time). Was shocked to then subsequently receive a Ryanair e-mail with confirmation of the original attempted booking - checked my cc statement and was charged.

No joy in contacting Ryanair - or should I say when I did contact them they said tough!

Contacted the cc company and they said I need to take it up with Ryanair - have I got a case - was thinking of putting more pressure on the cc company?

The money isn't huge but its the principal - any advise?
