Booking Ryanair Flights on Routespring

How Ryanair bookings work on Routespring
Ryanair is a low-cost airline available to book directly through Routespring. Because Ryanair requires you to confirm your booking directly on their site before it is finalised, Routespring automatically redirects you to complete that step — no agent involvement needed.
Once you complete the verification on Ryanair's page, control returns to Routespring and your trip is confirmed. The full itinerary — with your PNR, fare details, and invoice — is available immediately in Manage Bookings.
This replaces an older flow where Ryanair bookings were handed off to a Routespring agent and could remain in a pending state for an extended period. The new flow is fully self-service and completes in minutes.
When does this apply to you?
After you confirm the booking, Routespring shows a verification prompt and redirects you to confirm your flight on Ryanair's site. Once done, your itinerary is ready immediately.
If the fare is outside your company's travel policy, the booking request goes to your Travel Manager for approval. The verification redirect happens after approval is granted — not before.
When you approve an outside-policy Ryanair booking, the verification redirect fires immediately in your browser — you complete the flight confirmation on Ryanair's site before the trip is finalised.
If the verification page times out, the browser is closed, or the verification fails, the booking is not confirmed and no charge is made. You can restart the booking and attempt verification again.
Booking a within-policy Ryanair flight
Use this flow when the Ryanair fare you have selected is within your company's travel policy and no approval is required.
Search & select flight → Confirm booking → Ryanair verification → Trip confirmed
1 | Search for and select a Ryanair flight In Routespring, go to Book and search for your flight as usual. Ryanair flights appear in search results alongside other carriers — there is no separate search required. |
Ryanair fare families shown in search results — select the fare that suits you and click Select Flight.
2 | Review the fare details and consent notice Before confirming, Routespring shows fare details including the fare family (e.g. Value, Regular, Flexi Plus), baggage allowance, and seat type. A consent notice explains that completing this booking involves a redirect to Ryanair's site. Review these details, then click Confirm Booking. |
The booking review screen — fare details, payment method, and the Ryanair consent notice are shown before you click Book.
3 | Complete the Ryanair verification A Booking Status panel appears showing Verification Required. Routespring opens the Ryanair verification page — follow the on-screen instructions to confirm your flight. Keep this browser window open; closing it before finishing will leave the booking unconfirmed. |
After clicking Book, the Booking Status panel appears with a Verification Required notice.
The Ryanair verification page — review your flight details, accept the terms, and click Confirm flights.
4 | Return to your itinerary After successful verification, the Booking Status panel updates and shows a View Itinerary link. Click it to open your confirmed trip — your PNR, e-ticket references, fare breakdown, and invoice download are all available there. |
Your confirmed itinerary — confirmation number, fare, and invoice download are all available.
Booking an outside-policy Ryanair flight
If the Ryanair fare you have selected is outside your company's travel policy — for example, it exceeds the maximum fare class allowed — the booking requires approval from your Travel Manager before verification can proceed.
Traveler submits request → Travel Manager approves → TM confirms on Ryanair → Trip confirmed
1 | Traveler selects the flight and sends the approval request The traveler selects the out-of-policy Ryanair fare and clicks Select Flight. On the booking review screen, they fill in the required fields, read the consent notice, and click Send Approval Request. Routespring holds the fare and routes the request to the Travel Manager — the traveler receives an email confirming it is under review. |
The Basic fare is flagged Not in Policy — select it and click Select Flight to proceed to the booking review screen.
The booking review shows Not in Policy. Fill in the required fields, read the consent notice, then click Send Approval Request.
Routespring confirms the approval request has been sent to your admin. You will receive the itinerary by email once approved.
2 | Travel Manager reviews and approves The Travel Manager receives an email with the itinerary details and a policy note. They open the approval page, review the fare, and click Approve Travel. The Ryanair verification redirect fires immediately in their browser. If they disapprove, the traveler is notified and no charge is made. |
The approval page seen by the Travel Manager — policy violation reason, fare, and traveler details are shown. Click Approve Travel to proceed or Disapprove to decline.
3 | Complete the Ryanair verification Once approved, the verification redirect is triggered. The flow from this point is identical to within-policy bookings: confirm your flight on the Ryanair page, then return to Routespring to view your confirmed itinerary. |
Immediately after approving, the Travel Manager sees a Card verification required prompt. Click Verification Required to open Ryanair's confirmation page.
The Travel Manager completes flight confirmation on Ryanair immediately after approving.
After completing verification, the Travel Manager sees the itinerary marked Approved — the traveler will receive a confirmation email.
The traveler's confirmed itinerary — the booking shows a PNR and the invoice is available to download.
Understanding booking outcomes
After submitting or completing a Ryanair booking, the booking will be in one of the following states.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| ✓ Booking Confirmed | Verification was completed successfully. Your itinerary is confirmed, a PNR has been issued, and your invoice is available to download. |
| ⏱ Verification Required | The booking is reserved but the Ryanair flight confirmation has not been completed yet. Click the verification link in your Booking Status panel or the email notification to continue. |
| ⏱ Booking Under Review | Your outside-policy booking request is awaiting approval from your Travel Manager. No charge has been made. You will be notified by email once a decision is made. |
| ✗ Verification Failed | The flight confirmation on Ryanair's site was unsuccessful. No charge was made. Start a new booking to try again, or contact support if the issue persists. |
| ✗ Booking Disapproved | Your Travel Manager declined the outside-policy request. No charge was made. You can search for an alternative fare that falls within policy, or contact your Travel Manager for guidance. |
