Next, you will need to log into your myRynair account.

If you don’t have an account, you can look it up by adding your reservation number and the last four numbers of the credit card you used to purchase your ticket. You can also use your reservation number along with your email address or flight details.

Once you’ve accessed the details about your flight, you have options. You can add your seats, book a hotel, or add a rental car to your flight.
