Just go.

No decent employer would get rid of a good worker for taking a holiday which was already booked. So if they do, it will reveal the company to be not worth working for.

Just go

TO WORK


Holidays can wait.

If your gf told the employer at the interview stage they would then be aware of the situation, I would suggest your GF puts this in writing.

There is no change in the duty for Lanzarote flights so this will not apply.

Arrecife is the (only) airport in Lanzarote, and therefore the one Ryanair serve and it is listed on the link you give

The OP has the rare option to cancel the Ryanair flights free of charge. But only until tomorrow... Clock is ticking!

Anyway, your GF should formally (in writing) ask her new employer for permission to take her pre-booked holiday. If permission is refused, she could reasonably invite them to pay the cost of the wasted air tickets. And most travel insurance would pay up if you are forced to cancel a holiday because of an employer's changing demands: another reason why you should arrange insurance at the same time as you book (or very soon afterwards).

No she most certainly could not reasonably invite them to pay for her holiday! If an employee requested that to me during their probationary period there would be a very slim chance of them actually keeping the job at the end of it! And I challenge you to find me a single insurer who would pay out because you decided to get a new job, not tell them about the holiday before you started and then found out you couldn't go.

Can't hurt to formally request time off stating that it was already booked before you got the job (though they will then question why this rather important availability issue wasn't bought up during the application period!).

Though as someone else said, they very very very luckily fall into this new tax row, so should be able to get a full refund!

That has to rank among the worst advice I've ever seen on these forums. Sounds like a 100% guaranteed way of ensuring that the employment fails to reach the end of the probationary period.

And no travel insurance covers issues with employment.

According to the airport out here Ryanair are being charged the following ....

"We are charging Ryanair €1.87 pax for their flights out of Europe (this includes UK!) and €1.58 pax for internal Spanish flights".

I assume fifeken that Ryanair have decided not to levy the extra taxes on their Lanzarote flights (very much like those remaining to Girona) as they don't have enough plane loads to warrant it.

You assume wrong. See the link above to Ryanair's website.

Vanish?

!!!!!!, the OP posted at 09:10 yesterday.

You posted the above at 07:57 this morning.

Hardly 'vanishing', is it?

Some pretty amazing suggestions to the OP's dilemma (imho). :rotfl:
