Ryanair Discussion
Can't make head or tail of it. Can't book a flight for love or money. Gave up. It used to be so simple. What has happened?

I keep getting texts from you regarding booking in early and I don't have a flight booked with you - haven't even got a passport - in spite of numerous messages on Facebook haven't had a reply

Up loaded a post here not sure if it went. So aaaagain: I am trying to "find a flight" to go in the next few days, on Ryanairs "old website," and after typing in destination etc (many times) the drop down box for number of adults does not appear. Then when I push the "find a flight" button it doesn't respond. So annoying and frustrating. It means I can't book my flight!!! Looks like they are "advising" me to book with another airline. Some way of doing business. I can't understand why no one in their IT dept doesn't check their website on a regular basis. Basic customer relations? It would prevent me and others from wasting our time!!!!

Trying to find a flight (to book) in the nect few days, on their "old website" and the "find a flight" button is not responding!!!!!!!! Soooo annoying. What is wrong? Does no one in their IT dept monitor their website on an ongoing basis? I would have thought it would be standard procedure first thing in the morning. Baffling.

Can anyone help. We are having to cancel a Ryanair flight. We considered changing to another flight but the admin fee is £240 for us both so it makes no sense. We were hoping to at least claim back the Air Passenger Duty fee . The flight is to Crete so I was assuming this would be about £60 each. However the person on Ryanair's live chat system insists that we have not been charged any taxes or fees. How can this be? Does anyone know? Thanks.

Have to agree with Terry's comment about the new website. Awful - perhaps they should consult paying passengers before getting in website designers. Can't even work out how to put my flight datesin.

ATTENTION: RyanAir passengers trying to check in online but experiencing - "I can't continue to step 2" stage of online check in for your flight - I was experiencing that today and was only able to enter my passport details. Clicking 'continue' after that stage was NOT moving to stage two (seats) and by extension unable to complete stage three to finalise. SOLUTION = I opened and logged in using Chrome browser, and it worked. Prior to this I was using FireFox and kept being stuck on Stage 1 I mark this as a 'solution' because it certainly worked for me so before you spend a fortune calling the help desk, use another browser and try that (I can't speak for Internet Explorer). I've had multiple issues with FireFox browser in the last 3 or 4 days finalising things on websites like eBay, so I think it is something related to Javascript issues on FireFox. Using Chrome has always ended these problems encountered. Btw, before anyone accuses me of being a advocate of Chrome, I never usually use it but something strange is playing up on FireFox at the moment so try Chrome for this problem.

I am trying to check in - have all the correct details and it keeps telling me that they have no record of my booking. I have run customer service and they have cut me off. There is no one answering to the live web chat. Does anyone know what is happening at Ryan - are they closing down!!!!!!

I have just checked in on line for a ryanair flight but haven't entered the last two digits of my passport number following the << symbol. Will this cause any problem. I also could not access the send button on the live chat.

Later edit: However, I have to mention that, even is the website is not so god than the previous one, Ryanair as a company is OK for me, I've never had any issue with them. I think it's also good to mention that all their planes are new, they have bought all the planes from new, there is no plane in their fleet leased from another airline company. I don't know how many other airline companies can say the same about their planes. Guest : Hello, The best option to have a bigger picture, so you can choose the cheapest rate, is "Fare finder". When I go to "Fare finder" to see the prices per months (there are 2 options: a) chart view-columns; b) calendar-style), prices don't load (meaning are not shown) on calendar. Sometimes you cannot see neither the columns nor the calendar; is just the plain turning around... You have to reload the page. The old Ryanair website was much better than this one. And a personal opinion: all the explanations on the check-in page (the check-in page you have to print) seem to be made for stupid/dumb people.

The link to create a password for a new account; that is, the one sent in email, doesn't work. At least not with Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome on a desktop. Says it's good for 30 days .... I hope the website gets fixed by then.

David - Thanks for that post - the link worked beautifully - I am very grateful, you have saved me a lot of hassle and worry - Chas David Brooks : Anyone having problems with online check in, try this site : www.bookryanair.com/SkySales/Booking.asp... Their new site would only take me so far and then stop. This worked for me but you do have to go through some of the booking options again (like it asks you if you want insurance / car booking, etc. - just ignore them).

Two problems - The first, trying to book a single flight to France, the website would not allow me to do that, but would only list a return flight. I am intending to drive out to France and fly back. The only way I could book a single flight was to go to Ryanair.fr and book through them Second, having checked in on line and wanting to print out a paper boarding pass, there was no way this could be done, although there was a small image of the boarding pass. Ryanair's own website showing how to obtain a printed boarding pass showed absolutely no resemblance to the actual website with the boarding pass image on it and there was no print button or save as pdf button I did for a moment see some text indicating there were problems with the website

Similar problems as others list here - we were presented with drop downs at online check in suggesting we had to re-enter dates of birth, but the list of years only included 4 specific years (2000 to 2004) and the list of days of the month only went up to 15. Same problem in Chrome/IE/Firefox. Very very poor website. Thanks to those who posted the link to the original site - this did work.

we have booked a flight and had to book my 12 year old daughter down as an adult. However when I have gone to input her passport details, the system wont let me enter her year of birth because it is saying she is a child on an adult ticket ?? My sister has just had the same problem with my nephews details and ended up paying a small fortune in phone calls to rectify the issue. Is this a common problem because if so it sounds like a fraudulent way of them skimming more money out o you !!

Guest : I cannot get beyond 'continue' while trying to check in for a flight to London from Shannon tomorrow Yeah - me too. What the hell is going on? I am trying to click on the 'continue' button to change flights and it won't let me. I've tried other browsers apart from google chrome and it's still the same problem. So annoying...

This lousy website has gone wrong again. It took me countless tries to check in for the outward flight and now the same problem checking in for the return. Who can we complain to? ABTA ? CAA ? Dept of whichever? Is Ryanair worth the hassle?

Guest : I've just tried to check in myself, partner and infant son online. However, son's date of birth is already filled in and wrong. Has anyone else come across this. Is there any way around this as I don't want to be charged at check-in. Hi, The same issue has happened with my daughter. How did you solve the problem? Thank you.

After £100 spent on calls to the No Customer Service Dept. at Ryan Air and another 4hrs on Live Chat, I just hope and pray if one of their pilots get an error during flight, because they will never get any assistance from anyone at RyanAir - does anyone actually work at this company or is it just robots?

The new Ryan Air website says they don't fly to our airport in Portugal, despite having booked and paid for tickets. Hopefully things will be sorted out before we can get our boarding cards in July! In the meantime, people having problems with the new website could try the following old website addresses, which seemed to work (I managed to at least retrieve my booking details, but it's too early for us to checkin.) legacy.ryanair.com/en/manage-your-bookin... AND book.ryanair.com Remember to put the s at the end of http, and NO www.
