Cancelling flights - refund?

4 replies

We were supposed to be going away on Thursday for a weekend break to a European destination, returning on Sunday. We obviously realised weeks ago that it wasn't going to happen.
I'd only booked our flights, and we'd pretty much written them off.
A few days ago the Ryanair website said you could change the date free of charge. I decided to wait until tomorrow to do this to see if there were any other developments.
And now today, the government is advising against all non-essential foreign travel.
My flight is still going. I've had various emails today about check-in, baggage, bloody car hire Confused
There's nothing on their website citing today's government announcement, only some info flights to / from Spain as it's on lockdown. Our destination isn't as far as I'm aware, but it is in a state of national emergency.

So, claim on travel insurance? Refund by Ryanair? What do people think is my best option?

Contact Ryanair and discuss with them. Only they can help really.

The two bastard airlines - Easyjet and Ryanair- will wait till the last minute till they are forced to cancel flights, because they are desperate not to lose money. They will send out info and e-mails to their passengers the last minute.
