Hello, I am booked on a flight on Saturday and the flight is not cancelled. What are my rights as I will not be taking the flight?

    do you have travel insurance? have you read the policy?
  • Flying to Dublin 14th July with Ryanair. It's looking like my accommodation may still be closed on this date and Ryanair are not currently waiving flight change fees for the month of July. Covid19 is a pandemic and is unprecedented - not my fault. Where would I stand with my credit card provider given the cost of the flights are less than £100.

    Under £100  you can  try a Chargeback,   but it hasn't the same legal force that a Section 75 has for over £100

    I would expect the credit card route not to be of any use if the flight is still available to use
    best to bide time and wait for airline cancellation / waivers for July
