Can I get some guidance or help with this please.

We got a wedding booked out in Portugal next month, but the wedding planner has contacted us asking if we could contact our airline who we are flying with to see if they could rearrange the date for flying or get a refund if she would have to postpone the wedding.

I contacted Ryanair they said as of this moment your flight has not been cancelled, but further flight cancellations could happen depending on the circumstances so as we get closer to the departure date. we will send you an email approx. 2 weeks latest 24 to 28 hours prior, and we would be glad to refund or change your flight at that time.

But if the wedding planner tells up she needs to postpone the wedding how do we fair with this, would we have to pay to change date or lose all the money and book with a different airline or could we phone our credit card company what we used to pay for the flights and see where we stand with a BACK CHARGE.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    information is on the Ryanair website - https://www.ryanair.com/ie/en/useful-info/disruptions-and-refunds/coronavirus-covid-19
    Can I postpone my flight, if I don’t want to fly due to current situation?
    Yes, we have waived our flight change fee for any travel between 13th March and 30th April. Fare change will apply. 

    Chargeback does not apply if the flight is operating. Travel insurance might if there is FCO guidance against travel at the time (will depend on your policy)

    You will only get refund if and when the flight is cancelled.
