Ryanair Flight Change Fee in 2026: The Real Cost Per Sector
Ryanair’s change fee is charged per person, per one-way flight — and it’s higher if you call instead of doing it online. Here’s exactly what to expect before you book the new flight.

Quick Answer
Changing a Ryanair flight online costs €/£45 per passenger, per one-way flight. If you change it by phone or at the airport ticket desk instead, that jumps to €/£60. Either way, you also pay any fare difference between your original booking and the new flight/options pricing — and there’s no refund if the new fare happens to be cheaper. Flexi Plus fare holders get free same-day changes. If you’re unsure how the fee applies to your specific itinerary, call +1 (877) 770-0880.
The Fee Table: Online vs. Agent-Assisted
Ryanair charges the same change fee structure across nearly all fares, but the amount depends on how you make the change:
| How You Change It | Fee Per Passenger, Per One-Way Flight |
|---|---|
| Online (website or app) | €/£45 |
| Reservation centre or airport ticket desk | €/£60 |
Because the fee is per passenger and per one-way flight, a round-trip change for a family of four can multiply quickly — it’s worth calculating the total before deciding to change versus rebook.
Fare and Add-On Pricing Differences Apply Too
On top of the change fee, you’ll pay the difference between your original fare and add-ons (like checked bags) and the current pricing for the new flight. If the new total is cheaper, Ryanair does not refund the difference — you simply pay the change fee and nothing more.
Paid extras like bags and seats usually carry over to the new flight if available; if your exact selection isn’t available, Ryanair substitutes a comparable option rather than refunding it.
The 24-Hour Grace Period
Within 24 hours of booking, you can correct minor errors (dates, times) or reverse your route free of charge — though any fare difference still applies. This is the cleanest way to fix a same-day booking mistake without paying the standard change fee.
Flexi Plus and Same-Day Changes
Flexi Plus fare holders can change their flight on the day of travel free of the standard change fee, to a different date or route, as long as a seat is available — they just pay any fare difference. Without Flexi Plus, a same-day change follows the regular fee structure above, made up until 2.5 hours before departure of either the original or new flight.
What You Can and Can’t Change Online
Step-by-Step: How to Change a Ryanair Flight
Select the booking you need to change.
You’ll see the €/£45 fee plus any fare difference before paying.
These cases need agent assistance, and the fee structure shifts to the higher tier — worth confirming the total before proceeding. Call +1 (877) 770-0880 and we’ll handle it.
When It’s Worth Calling Instead
Ryanair’s fee is simple in structure but easy to underestimate on multi-passenger or round-trip bookings, since it’s charged per person and per one-way segment — not as a single flat amount per booking. Multi-passenger changes also can’t be processed online at all.
