Do Ryanair have the policy that if you do not use your outbound flight, you cannot use your return flight? I know that many airlines have that, but perhaps the fact that Ryanair is a point-to-point airline means that it doesn't?
Also, if you have a booking for two people and only one of them turns up, presumably they can still board without the other person?
Thanks! |

No idea re the first question. I fly with them every other week and have never had to do that, but as for the second question its absolutely no problem.
They know their numbers from when your ticket is scanned at security and the head count is based solely on that. |

| I've missed an outbound flight before John and was no bother getting the return from that booking so you'll be grand unless they've changed the rules since then. |

John, I've been able to use return portions of flights before but not travelled out the original outward flight due to change of plans etc. I never had any problem, as long as you have your boarding pass printed off I wouldnt worry about it.
It's been a while since I've done that, could be worthwhile to do the full check and print off all your boarding cards now just to be safe. |

1. If I'm not mistaken this was brought up somewhere before and the outcome was RyanAir are a point to point service.
2. No problems with people not turning up, sure they've got the money so they don't care  |

First question: just insist that you were on the outbound flight and that you have no reason to lie about this. Photoshop some pics of you getting blown by one of their calendar girls in your designated seat with the digital imprint date clearly visible in the corner for sheepish revealing if they don't believe you.
Second question: arrive at the airport with a blow-up doll and say you thought you would have to book her a ticket if you wanted her to come along. A cheap fake passport made from a wine-coloured notebook will add weight to your argument. Then simply apologise for the misunderstanding and weep as you squeeze the life out of her. |

It was me who asked the question before, and my flight was with FlyBe. The policy with FlyBe (and was told is the same with Ryanair) is that if you miss your outbound flight, your seat on the return journey gets put back up for sale. Shouldn't be an issue really, given that a lot of flights aren't ever fully sold out, but in order to be sure, ring Ryanair customer care, and they'll be able to take 'your' seat down for sale on the return leg.
Pain in the hole, and a lesson I could have done without having to learn, but that's the way it goes! |

| Thanks to all. The situation no longer arises, but it's good to know. |

Happened me loads of times, with early booking of flights to uk for footy only for matches to be changed from sat to sun etc..
Never had a problem. |

| If your flight gets delayed by 4 hours, your infants are not entitled to the shit food/drinks voucher they give you. Apparently its a no seat, don't eat policy they have :/ Wankers. I payed 25 euro for my son to go on the plane and then had to keep him entertained and feed him in the airport while they sorted out their cock up only to be told that he's not really a passenger |
