Hi,

Booked a holiday to Ireland for this weekend about 6 months ago. Ryanair want to charge the same price as a new ticket for me to change just my return flight back a week and leave my girlfriend on the original.

So I want to book another flight home just for me which is a week later in case I stay. Which is most likely.

Ryanair phone support is just hard work. Does anyone know if the two following points are a problem.

1) Girlfriend returning on her own if she is not the lead passenger?

2) Is me having two flights booked a week apart back to London a security flag if I miss the first?

Many thanks. Sorry for the boring questions.

Can't answer the first question, but I got the Mrs to rebook a far more convenient flight back from Cologne about 12-hours before the one I was meant to be on. We were told simply 'don't turn up' for the original flight by the carrier, so would suggest not a massive security threat etc. At the end of the day people also just miss their flights all of the time.

Once booked an EasyJet flight a day later than I needed to fly. Cheaper to rebook than change.

As I'd already checked-in online in error I stopped by at the desk to tell them that I would not be turning up for the flight the next day. Could not have cared less.

Cool. That's what I thought. Thanks. Will try calling Ryanair again later about the first question.
