Hoping the collective hive mind will guide me!
We've planned our summer holiday next year which will involve us flying, visiting Netherlands, Belgium and France. We will pick up a car from the airport and drop it off at the same one, so we kind of have to do a circular trip.
We booked flights to Brussels when they were released last week. I'd rather have flown to Paris Beauvais but they weren't out and we didn't want to leave it in case costs soared.
Ryanair have now emailed and said the times of the Brussels flights have changed on both outward and inward flights. The new times are really annoying, make out travel plans harder. We have a choice to switch to the day before or after, or get a full refund.
However, the Paris Beauvais flights are now showing on the app. In an ideal world, I'd cancel and get a refund on Brussels, and book Beauvais. The issue is it says every single flight is booked out. Every one. For five months straight.
It feels like they're prepped the flights on the app but haven't released them for sale yet? How can every single flight have booked out instantaneously?
Does anyone regularly book Ryanair flights and can tell me if this is what they do prior to making the flights available?
This was an actual essay, apologies.
