Booking Changes

You can change your flight online up to 2.5 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the original or new flight, whichever is earlier. Changes are subject to payment of a change fee, charged per person per flight. See our Table of Fees for details. You must also pay any difference between the original fare and any fees for optional services (such as check-in bags) paid at the time of the booking, and the fare/fees available when you make the change. Please note that, if the new fare/fee is cheaper than the original fare/fee, we will not refund the difference.

To change your flight, go to ‘My Bookings’ on Ryanair’s website or mobile App and select the flight you want to change.

Changes are subject to payment of a change fee, charged per person per flight. See our Table of Fees for details. You must also pay any difference between the original fare and any fees for optional services (such as check-in bags) paid at the time of the booking, and the fare/fees available when you make the change. Please note that, if the new fare/fee is cheaper than the original fare/fee, we will not refund the difference.

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). During this time no flight change fee will be charged, however, you will need to pay any fare difference.

We always try to transfer any product/extras to your new booking.

If the exact product is unavailable, we will substitute it with a similar product, e.g., if you booked Priority & 2 Cabin Bags on your original flight and this is not available on your new flight, you will be given a 10kg Check-in Bag.

If you selected a specific seat on your original flight, there is no guarantee that we will be able to transfer this to your new flight as it may not be available. If this happens, we will transfer you to the next best available option.

Yes. You can purchase products for your new flight if you wish to do so.

Changing your booked flight or route on the day of travel

With a Flexi Plus fare, you can change your booked flight on the day of travel, free of charge, to a flight on the same route as your original flight (if a seat is available). If you change your booked flight on the day of travel to a flight on a different route you will not have to pay a flight-change fee, but you must pay any difference in the fare. If you are changing to a later flight, you can make the change up to one hour before the departure time of the original flight. If you are changing to an earlier flight, you can make the change:

• up to 40 minutes before the new flight if you make the change at the airport ticket desk; or
• up to one hour before the new flight if you make the change through a contact centre.

Changing your booked flight or route before the day of travel

If you change to a flight departing one day or more before or after the original flight, you will not have to pay a flight-change fee, but you must pay any difference in the fare. You can make the change up to one hour before the departure time of the original flight. If you are changing to an earlier flight, you can make the change:

• up to 40 minutes before the new flight if you make the change at the airport ticket desk; or
• up to one hour before the new flight if you make the change through a contact centre.

If you have already checked in online for the original flight, you will need to contact us to uncheck that flight before you can make the change. With a Flexi Plus ticket you can check in at the airport free of charge.

You can change the route of all flights in a booking online through My bookings section. However, once you have taken the outbound flight, you can only change the route of the return flight at an airport ticket desk or through a call centre. You can only change the route between the same departure country and destination country.

When you change a flight, the services included in Flexi Plus are transferred to the new flight (if those services are available for that flight). If a service cannot be transferred, you will not get a refund of any part of the Flexi Plus fare.

If you have already made your booking and wish to add an infant (0-2 years), you need to contact us here.

If your infant turns 2 years before their return journey, you must purchase a full-fare adult ticket for their return flight. Please contact us if this scenario arises.

A child (2-11 years) or teen (12-15 years) cannot be added to an accompanying adult’s booking online. Instead, you’ll need to purchase an additional full-fare adult ticket and once you have made the booking, contact us via the chat function on our website so we can link the two bookings and change their passenger type. See our Table of Fees here.

When you contact us, please make sure you have the following:

• Both booking references;
• Your child’s passport/travel documentation details.

It’s not necessary to add an adult to an existing booking as adult tickets can be purchased individually.

If one of the passengers in your booking cannot travel, no action is needed. We cannot remove them from the booking, and no refund will be issued.
