I am not out of the situation, and trying customer service has never been a success. While I can register a new account with Ryanair, my trip is under question.
OK, chat person could not override the flagging software, but at least sent a link to payment site where the fee of 35c could be paid so the booking gets unblocked. They also assured that check in is free at the airport for such bookings.
