I am 71 and now on the government COVID-19 lockdown for 12 weeks. I have a flight from East Midlands to Ibiza booked on 02 June and return on 16 June. Can I cancel my flights and get a refund?

    All Ryanair flights have been cancelled until June. That date may be extended.

    If your flights are cancelled you can either apply for a refund or change your cancelled flight for free.

    But if the flight does go and you choose not to take it, then that's up to you. Refer to the t&cs of the specific ticket you opted for as to whether you can cancel and obatin a refund.

    Surely your health is more important than £9.99 or whatever you paid for a flight from that company that everyone once said they would never fly with, isn't it?

  • Actually, each flight cost me approx £65. If you were to book them now it would cost £71 outbound and £181 inbound.
