Ryan air help!!!!

6 replies

My husband booked our Ryanair flights for the summer.
I've just checked and the children's names do not include middle names at this point. I know Ryanair can charge you over all sorts! Is this one of those things or more to be included when we do online check in?
Thanks!

Ryan Air don’t ask for middle names, as long as the first name and last name are correct and match the passport then you’re all set Grin

Middle names are optional. Don't worry about it Smile

With Ryanair, what you have to watch for is sitting together. They do it quite cheaply with DCs and you can choose you seats up to 30 days before the flight. If you don't pay, you can't choose your seat until 4 days before the flights and you will get the dregs and there might not be any seats together left.

I've also read on the news that they are changing this to being able to check in 60 days before the flight if you pay, and only 2 days before if you don't. So unless you want to risk sitting apart, you are effectively forced into paying for your seats. And bear in mind that everyone else is in the same boat, so choose your seats early for the best chance of sitting together.

Middle names not required

Thank you for the tip.
We have chosen our seats in the back already.🤷🏻‍♀️ I'll still check in early though.

Do check. According to Martin Lewis this week, from June 13th (I think) the advance check-in period is reduced to 2 dys.
