Ryanair fees

Hi. Has anyone recently had to change a passenger name on flights with Ryanair?
Following on from my other post (who should pay for name change?), we were under the impression that the name change fee was £115 for the return but the Ryanair site contradicts itself. Ititselfper passenger but a bit futher down that its per passenger per flight. Confused!

£115 per passenger per one way flight is the only way I read it

Thanks, thats what Ive seen too.
But if you look further down in the fee table it says name change per passenger £115. Its a bit odd Confused

Each flight is separate so 2x £115

Name Change Fee
Per Passenger
€/£115
€/£160
Then this further down

When I did it (booked my flights before getting married when I hadn't decided about name change) it was free. I just called the call centre and they never charged me. That was three years ago though.

All the fees for changes, cancellation etc are per person per flight

They are such a bunch of robbing bastards. It takes them seconds to change the name, and it's not like they even print any tickets out!

That's still less than £230. Does she need to get same flights as existing, may out with ra and back with another airline or slightky earlier/later flight? Can she just take a carry on bag?

They do it to stop travel agents hoovering up all the cheap flights on the day of release and selling them at a profit. Obviously inconvenient to people who book and change their mind or can't travel for some reason, but those are their rules, which are similar to other airlines - most budget airlines won't let you change names or dates without a hefty fee.

Hi all.
Rang Ryanair- its £115 for the whole trip NOT each way) if you change name online, or £160 if you do it over the phone.
Not as bad as I thought.
