Can I transfer my Ryanair ticket to someone else?


Can I transfer my Ryanair ticket to someone else? Yes. However, you will have to pay our name change fee. You may not change the name if one of the flights has already departed. See our Table of Fees.


Can I remove a passenger from my Ryanair booking?

We cannot remove them from the booking, and no refund will be issued.


What is the grace period for Ryanair?

We allow a grace period of 24 hours from the time of your original booking to correct any minor errors you may have made (dates/times) free of charge. We also allow you to reverse the route if you've booked your flights incorrectly (e.g., you may change DUB to STN to STN to DUB).


What does tickets are non transferable mean?

A non-transferable ticket is a ticket that cannot be transferred from the purchaser who was issued to ticket to another person. The majority of airline tickets are non-transferable because most airlines have a strict no-name change policy.


Does Ryanair require middle names?

For security reasons, the first name and surname on your booking must match the names on your travel document(s). We do not require middle name or second/double-barrelled surnames for flights. For information on how to change a name on your booking, please visit our Name Change FAQs here.


Can I cancel my Ryanair flight and get a refund?

Ryanair's website states that if you are informed of a flight cancellation less than 14 days before the scheduled departure time, you have a few options. This includes applying for a refund or changing your cancelled flight to new times/dates on the same route for free.


How much does it cost to change the name on a plane ticket?

The cost of changing the name on your flight ticket will depend entirely on the airline. Some airlines allow one free correction per ticket. Others will charge a “correction fee” or a “change fee” that can range from $50 to $200.


Why do Ryanair charge so much for a name change?

Fees will be applied to changes made outside of the 24-hour grace period. The name-change fee is a preventative measure to discourage and prevent unauthorised online travel agents from 'screenscraping' Ryanair's cheapest fares and reselling them on to unwitting consumers at hugely inflated costs.


Can I transfer my flight ticket to someone else?

Yes, although every airline's policy is different, it will almost always cost to transfer an airline ticket to another person. Sometimes, the cost of transferring a flight ticket to someone else can actually be more expensive than purchasing an entirely new ticket.
