Hi my hotel in Ibiza is closed for the summer And will refund me, I booked my flight separately with Ryanair so cannot go as have no where to stay. I can’t take the offer to have a voucher until December as I work in a school and cannot take holidays out of term time, what are my chances of a refund ?

    If the flight flies, absolutely zero from Ryanair. As per the 200 other threads on Ryanair.

    My holiday with Loveholidays was cancelled in March (due to fly Easter Sunday) been asking Ryanair for a refund ever since. Today they have sent another email saying don't forget that you have a voucher to spend with us! How many times must one request a refund!!!!!!!!!!

    Thats because you are requesting the refund from the wrong people.

    When are you due to travel Jaw2020?   If flights are still going ahead then you will not get a refund or a voucher, you will either have to get on it or lose your money.   You can always look for another hotel?    I am intrigued by people who claim they are restricted by work.  As much as I, and many people on here, may sympathise,it doesn't have any effect on airlines.  You booked a flight for a specific date, if it goes ahead you go.  You will only be offered a refund (or voucher to rebook) if the flight is cancelled.
  • Hi, I cancelled my booking through on the beach as my hotel isn’t reopening until third week in July and got a refund. However, the flights through Ryanair will not refund as they are still running. However, I live in LEICESTER and as we are in lockdown and my flight is scheduled during the lockdown period, can I get a refund through Ryanair or my insurers?
  • A per government advice we should not be leaving Leicester!

  • Hi. We were due to be in Berlin in a few days. Flight out (Ryanair) 4th July not cancelled, flight back (easyjet) cancelled and refund in progress. Hotels deferred to next year. Have had great difficulty contacting ryanair. We have no intention of travelling  and can’t because if FCO advice. Any advice on whether to try to claim on insurance or keep pursuing ryanair?
