Ryanair - 8

[NorthernCounties]

I would chance it myself, don't the gate staff just check the name on the passport. 9 times out of 10 my passport doesn't even get checked going through security... and this isn't just at LDY.

[CCR]

Staff at the gate do check. I would call them rather than risk being denied boarding at the gate.

We checked in on the weekend with Ryanair, however, my wife's new passport has been delivered and we had already put in the security information. Is there anyway to change this?

You have the old Passport now with assumme edges cut off and you have the new one replacing it. Bring both as evidence as indicating one replacing another is reasonable.

Call them (the numbers listed on their website). Depending on your specific circumstances they'll probably either update your wife's information for free over the phone or they'll charge you a £15 fee to uncheck the booking and you'll be able to do it yourself. The call is cheap and the staff are friendly and professional- not what most people expect.

Your defiinition of a cheap call and mine seem to be at odds. Ryanair charges anywhere from £0.10 - £1.00/minute from a UK landline (don't even think about the cost from a mobile !) to talk to them. The good news is they only charge £0.05/minute to complain about the high call charges .

Luckily you can call them direct in Dublin at much lower prices on [phone]. Information from SayNoTo0870

True but slightly misleading. In the UK, a call to reservations costs £1.00/minute. Calling the flight alterations number costs just £0.10p per minute. I think most people would agree that that's cheap (the only reason I didn't list this price in my original post is that I've no idea which country bcn boy is calling from).

I recently had to change a misspelt name on a reservation and Ryanair did it for free. I called from my mobile for convenience, was on the line for less than two minutes and it didn't cost that much (I could always have found a phonebox if I'd wanted to). It's much better to update the information than to take a risk. 99% of the time you'll be fine but it only takes one jobsworth to kick up a fuss then you're left having to falk out for a new flight on the day of departure. Now THAT'S expensive

The passport number doesn't actually appear on the boarding card so there is no way for ground handling to check.

I was looking for a flight for "Mrs L" to pop home this summer whilst over in France rather than using ID95 and transferring. It was great to look at options available from a number of airports we can pop along to and other last minute ideas without Captcha. Now I simply can't be bothered. I just wonder how much business they will loose with this silly system in place. Its stops browsing for ideas.....

Does anybody know if this route will operate again as a ski route this winter?

If so, does anyone know when the schedule will be published, and tickets bookable?

[davidjohnson6]

Narrow - Easyjet have flights from Grenoble to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted on sale now for winter if that helps

Hi David,

Thx for the heads up. I was aware of easyjet's flights, but they are a lot more expensive than last year.

I own a place in the Alps, so use the services regularly - at least 6 weeks a season. But to be honest, I refuse to pay the prices that easyjet want on certain dates.

I'll hold on for Ryanair's offerings. If no good, I will use my wife's staff travel I suppose and head to Chambery.

I'm surprised FR haven't announced the routes yet though - however, I suppose they will be about £1 cheaper than easyJet and clean up anyway.....

Thx again. I appreciate your effort in replying.

I know this is an old chestnut and apologies for that but is there any way one can view all Ryanair's winter schedules on one page? I want to fly from Alicante to anywhere in the UK - don't care as long as I get there! Do I have to keep going through the rigmarole of entering every destination until I get one that hasn't got a no entry sign on it, or is there a quicker way?

Thanks!

[rareair]

I find skyscanner.net fairly useful

You can specify "uk" in the destination field

Also look at the wikipedia page for alicante airport, which obviously carries no guarantee but is likely to be fairly accurate.

NEW ROUTE FROM SEPTEMBER 1ST

East Midlands (EMA) to Cork (ORK)

Winter Schedule from NYO disappeared?

I booked a flight from BCN-NYO the 2nd of November the other day. This was after I had seen that the whole winter schedule for the route was loaded. Now today all flights are gone (as well as all flights from NYO to ALC).
Anyone knows what has happened? Argument with Skavsta airport?

[Sunnyjohn]

Thanks for these, rareair. Skyscanner is good. Wiki has its usual shortcomings, not least that it puts Alicante in the Region of Murcia (it's in Valencia!)

Sorry wrong thread.

No winter canary routes

The contract for free landing must have run out. There are no flights for any of the islands from the uk on FR booking engine.If no canary flights this winter half his fleet will be parked up.
