Buying flight tickets from another person cost of changing names on tickets

[noproblem]

I have an opportunity to buy holiday for 2 with b/b in Lanzarote , including 2 return tickets on Ryanair + transfers and baggage from someone who cannot go. The holiday is this month and I would like to know how much aprox would it cost me to get the tickets changed into our names, probably the hotel booking too? Would appreciate any help as cannot seem to get a response from airline at the moment.

Quick search revealed €115 per ticket, so €230. Quite exorbitant really

According to Ryanair’s FAQs a name change ‘starts’ at €115 per passenger.

Be careful, you are not asking for a simple name change, you are asking for entire contracts to be transferred from someone else to you for your benefit.

- Ryanair seems to have no problem, they call it a name change just as you do
- But what about the hotel, transfer agents etc?

Make sure you have covered all the bases before you part with any cash.
