A few weeks ago I booked flights to Spain for a quick break from Jan 1st to the 7th. I went to check in online today and noticed that I had actually booked the return for Feb 7th :oops: It's a good job I have had a good December to pay the extra for the return flights. Also we are flying out of East Mids and leaving the car there and it looks like we will have to fly back to Stansted and get the train from there to home and then drive to East Mids to fetch the car from there.

Ah but I did it twice. I booked for the wife and I first and then asked my dad if he wanted to come and I did it again. :oops:

It's Ryanair. It will probably cost me more to cancel.

It probably would. I booked a day later than I meant to for a return flight from Malaga with Monarch. Could I change to the previous day? Yes I could, for £150. Stayed an extra day. Although staying an extra month is a bit much!

yep, it would cost more to transfer the flight than just make a new booking. €103 each for the new flights.
