Ryan Air
My dad has booked me and my boyf a flight to france for my birthday but he has booked my boyfriend under the wrong name, my dad knows him as Mr Thompson, but his passport shows his dads surname. He changed his name via deed poll to thompson. Now on ryan airs website it says its going to cost me �45 to do a name change on the booking
my question is will they let him fly on his passport if we take all his deed poll papers and explain? thought id ask on here before i ring the 0900 number!

hey gemma,
that recently happened to me - was booked under my married name and maiden name still showed on my passport. As it was too late to get a new passport (nevermind the unwanted expense) I had to take my Marriage Certificate along to Check-In. This still created something of a delay but better than getting a new passport.
Taking an official doc. like the one you mentioned should be fine. Call the 900 number though!
Check out this page on the passport office web site, and if you're not going 'till November GET IT CHANGED! Then you don't need to contact Ryanair as the name on the booking will be the same one as on his passport!
