Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Bratislava Using only the return portion of a Ryanair ticket?
Posted: Thu June 19, 2008 10:07 AM UTC
My daughter and her friend have booked a Ryanair flight from Hahn to Bratislava and back to go to the match in Vienna tomorrow. They split up in the meantime, but she is still going. She had to change the day of her trip to Vienna and is taking a train now, but still wants to fly back as originally planned. Her friend isn't going at all.
(Additional question: Is anyone interested in a ticket for the match Turkey-Croatia tomorow? Pick-up would be Vienna.)

My daughter checked in online for the return portion, but we're not sure if Ryanair will accept her ticket, since she didn't use the the first part, Hahn - Bratislava.

Does anybody know how this is handled? I know EU law states the airlines have to accept the return part, but this is a new law and Ryanair is not exactly known for their passenger service.

Since Ryanair sells the flight as flights to Vienna, I'll also post this question in the Vienna forum.

Thank you for any help.

Ryanair may have use dtha fact that a no show on the outward leg means a no show on the inward bound flight also - check with ryanair what there t& cs are regarding this - if you speak to someone -take their name and infoem them you will be using the information they give at the airport and also wil use their name as a ryanair representative - if they refuse to give it ask to speak to a seenior person

Do not worr, you`re good, did this before and ranair does not care if you did not use your first leg, just simply turn up at the airport.

Thank you for your replies. I've called my daughter and told her about your help.
Sorry Irena, I'm afraid the ticket is no longer available.

A short update: Nobody at the airport in Bratislava was interested if my daughter had used the first portion of her ticket or not. She had checked in online, had only carry-on luggage and encountered no problems at all.
Thanks again for your help.
