Hi!
im due to fly to Portugal on 11th June, and still under government guidelines I am obviously unable to go on this trip! Ryanair have said that they are resuming flights in July.. but my flight in on 11th June still hasn’t been cancelled!!! (3 days away)! 
What do I do?? As reading other forums- if the flight isn’t cancelled then I can’t get a refund. But we are unable to fly on 11th June?? Has anyone got any advice please!! 
Thanks!

    You are able to fly on 11/6. Portugal is open, and they are not requiring quarantine on arrival. The UK government advises you not to travel, but does not prohibit you. However you will have to quarantine for 14 days upon your return to the UK.
    It's very unlikely that Ryanair will cancel with only 3 days notice, so your best option if you don't want to go is to claim on your holiday insurance on the basis of the advisory being in place.

  • I have a Ryanair flight to alicante spain on 21st June returning 1st July.
    My understanding is that it will be cancelled but it has not been as yet, infact today Ryanair emailed me to advise of a 1-3hour flight time change on both flights, they say i can accept the changes or change the fight without admin fees.
    I'm suspicious that they are doing this in the hope that some people take advantage of this foc change rather than hold out and risk the flight not being cancelled, saving them a refund bill!? 
    I'm lost with what to do?
    The wedding we were to attend is cancelled so we wont be travelling whatever happens.

    Any advice?

    Wait,  if the flight look like it's going ahead, then change the flights.
