Ryanair changed my flight times!

Ryanair have changed my flight times: flight out from Belfast to Liverpool was booked for 1305 and returning the next day at 1305. Now they have changed the flight out to 0840 and the return flight to 0655. !

Totally rubbish flight timings,there is a flight out at 1215 and a return at 1330...why werent we given these as they are nearer to our original booking times?

What can we do?

Thanx.

    Check if there are spaces on the other flights and then phone them and ask if they will transfer you.

    Well, you could take the advice given on the e-mail they sent you. That is to accept the new fight details, ask to be switched to another flight that day (if there is one), request departure another day at a more suitable time (may cost you more) or cancel and receive a refund for that portion of the flight.

    i've received a similar email about our flights from malaga to leeds and the flight time has changed considerably. presumably if I want to change to a different day I would be liable for the difference between what i paid when i booked the tickets originally and what the price is now for the alternative day?

    No, several times I have been rebooked at no charge even though the new flight was more expensive. This is of course when Ryanair has changed the original flight times.

    oh thanks for that Bengt. The flight was due back about lunchtime on the monday and my daughter is on a 3 night residential with school starting that day about 30 minutes away from our home (which is about 20 minutes from the airport) and we were going to take her there straight away so she didn't miss too much of the first day. but now the flight doesn't get in til midnight so she'll miss the first whole day and night. unfortunately there is no flight on the sunday but there is one on the saturday but it's a lot more than we paid originally for the monday - I think it's about £79 and we paid £14.99. if Ryanair will change us FOC then all credit to them I think that's brill. although the downside is we'll miss 2 whole days of our holiday! Oh the dilemma!
