what are the chances of Ryanair noticing one letter wrong on name of flight booking?

It's a common mis-spelling of a vowel in my surname....

Flying out in the morning.....

My name is URL

You're probably more likely to experience problems at your destination

El Guapo!

You'll have to buy a vowel.

Keep smiling, be nice to the person behind the desk, chat to them (distraction!) and oft times they let it pass.
Its a common mistake.

Bring 80 euro ( might be 50) to cover the cost of them doing you a 'favour' correcting it.
Happened to wife some time back

We've checked in online and so the only time they'll check will be on the desk as we queue...

Booked by my friend but as I said it's a common enough spelling of the name.

Here's hoping.

Nothing at all possibly.

I travelled on a ticket booked with a mis-spelled name on Ryanair previously; my name is Tadhg and the girl who booked it wrote something like Taghd... wasn't any problem. Flying from Stanstead to Dublin return. My understanding is that some Ryanair airports are typically fussier than others.

Always do the smiling thing.....

It saved me years ago when I accidentally booked the return flight for the wrong date. Only found out while checking in.

The guy said it was going to cost me UK£220 to fly out that day or £200 the next day. I kept my cool and asked if there was anything that could be done.

Once his supervisor was out of earshot he said "gimme twenty quid and I'll change it for you now". He did.

It was Aer Lingus though.

You should be fine as long as you have got your passport number right.

I dont think they could force you to pay a charge for reprints just to correct a very minor typo, chance are noone will notice.

I booked tickets for a couple (they hadn't a pc) and put the bloke down as a "Mrs" - yep, stupid me.
I didn't kop it and either did they till they got to the airport ...and it was with Ryanair.
Girl behind the desk I was told noticed it, said nothing out loud, pointed it out and changed it.
Depends on luck, the person behind the desk and maybe if their boss is floating around at the time, occasionally looking over their shoulders.

It would be illegal for them to discriminate on Mr/Mrs due to sexuality and what a person identifies as. My mother flew to Lanzarote this year as a Mr.

should be fine, they are in such a rush they rarely check properly.

would be interesting to see how it goes though, let us know please!

Some friends and I were travelling together and one of the tickets had the wrong surname on it. Turns out the name the guy used was his step dads name and the guy who booked the tickets used that, not the name on the passport.

We discovered this at the airport when we were all handed our boarding passes.

We came up with a plan to hand over all the passes in one group and do the same with the passports

It worked. So we got there and had the name for the return flight changed whilst we were on holidays.

The last time i flew with ryanair i checked in about a week before i flew and only realised the day i was going that id put in the wrong passport number,never got noticed in dublin or gatwick

1qTour

did the mr mrs mistake recently. They cant do anything about that as the previous poster said.

When we were boarding the flight in Shannon the guy taking the boarding pass said he was just checking the expiry date. Based on that I'd say you will be grand.

Other than that its 110 euro to change it. absolute robbery. Cheaper to book a new flight!

Name changes cost money. Name corrections are free. Just call them up. There's another thread over in travel, do a search around if you want confirmation.

I did this twice the first time I rang them up and they said it would be fine. The second time I just chanced it. Both times I had no problem.

Where are you flying too? I fly regularly from stansted and as long as your passport is in date you should be ok.

Myself and my housemates have all flown with each others boarding pass and never had any bother, I even know a guy who will always edit his pass to priority before printing and has never had any problems.

Saying that this is just flying with hand luggage and if you have to check a bag it might be a different matter, good luck anyways.

You'll be fine.
If in doubt start questioning the guy/girl on desk about the finer details of baggage allowance or some other banal everyday flight related topic, moan a bit and complain. Their mind won't be able to process the two events.
