Ryanair flight change?

Options
I booked a flight the other day thinking that their sale was coming to an end, so had to make a decision pretty sharpish. However since then, myself and my partner have decided that we need to return from a different airport. The ryanair site says that there will be a charge to change a booking and I'll have to pay the difference in flight costs.

Does anyone know how much the charge is for changing a flight?

The other thing I was thinking, was that I have paid the tax for a flight which I will no longer use - can I get a refund on that or will I have to pay it again for the new airport? Surely ryanair wouldn't pay the tax twice if it doesn't have to, so does it keep the tax? Surely that's not fair??


Cheers...

    You'll pay the difference between the existing flight & the current flight plus a charge for doing so. The tax you'd pay would be moved to the new booking so there isn't anything to reclaim - and besides the charges for reclaiming the tax just happen to be the same value as the tax itself so you end up with nothing

    How much would a new separate booking cost? Possibly cheaper than the change fees.
