I am not the airport/Ryanair agent who will make the call on the day, so I really don't know, but in my (fairly considerable) experience with name foul-ups on BPs around the world, I would guess that the chance of being denied bolding is fairly low. Obviously if you would like to further reduce that risk you could go and buy another ticket. I would not.
The chance of being refused boarding is close to zero. Most likely the agents will not even notice it. A good argument would be that you flew the outbound segment - then of course you are able to travel on the ticket for the return segment also.
I wouldn't try to get this sorted out now. It will only draw attention to the spelling error and anyway, you will have to pay a fee for any reissue of the ticket so it going to be expensive. Rest assured that you will be able to fly on the ticket as it is.

On any other airline, I'd agree with you. IATA rules provide some flexibility for misspelling. IIRC Ryanair isn't an IATA member and subsequently sets its own rules. A name-change with Ryanair is anywhere between 115 and 160. Drawing attention to it, will Ryanair give an opportunity to charge said fee. I suspect that refusing to pay the fee will result in denied boarding, hence why I wouldn't say anything. Chances are that they won't notice (similar to how they didn't notice on the outbound).Originally Posted by SK AAR

I feel like Ive got no option but to rectify it at the airport, and face the fee, Im pretty certain it will be noticed at boarding this time.

Well obviously, the time for you to notice and correct the error was before you flew to Majorca. But that window is closed.
If it is noticed and you are denied boarding on the existing ticket, you should be able to change the ticket for a fee. I see no reason to do so until and if that happens. Just act surprised as suggested and go from there to get it changed to match your ID.
Often, people see what they expect to see. I suspect that is what happened on your outbound flight. The Ryanair agent who checked your ticket against your ID, saw what s/he expected to see, the same name. It may well happen again on the return.

You mean she 'won't'? Sure, she can stay there, but what would be the point? She'll just end up buying a new ticket. Seems strange to me. I think you should chill out and deal with this on the day of travel. You're ruining your holiday by fretting excessively.Originally Posted by superstokie13

Curious, how did the mistake happen? Did you mistype when you bought the ticket online? Or did you use a 3rd party who made the typo?Originally Posted by superstokie13
Hello all, last week I travelled to Majorca , but it appeared my surname was spelt incorrectly, got here ok, but does anyone know if I can rectify mistake at check in desk on the way back?
If OP calls and asks for the ticket to be properly reissued, he will be charged the fee. If he waits to the airport, he will either be boarded along with others or, FR will notice and charge him the fee. Why on earth pay now when there is no penalty for doing this later.
