Did you know that Ryanair have a 24 hour grace period?
You can change a Ryanair ticket free of charge if you contact them. This is clearly stated on their website:
“Don’t worry, customers who have booked their flight directly on the Ryanair.com website have a 24 hour grace period from the time of original booking, to correct any minor errors (i.e. incorrect routings/dates/times) free of charge. If you are changing your flight date, time or route, we will waive the flight change fee.
However you will be charged any price difference between the original fare paid and the lowest total price available on your new flight. Please note that if the fare/fees on the new flight is lower, no refund will be made.”
To find out more please contact their call centre or chat online to one of their team.
