Ryanair Ireland flught

sunniehol

I’m due to fly tomorrow 1st Jan uk to Ireland but last night Ireland extended their travel ban to 6 Jan. Ryanair are still scheduling the flight but legally I can’t go. They say I’m not due a refund/free flight change. Surely this can’t be right.

Ryanair comes up frequently re this same question....have a read of the similar posts
eg https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6227711/ryanair-rip-off/p1
do you have travel insurance?

They are correct, entry requirements to a country aren’t their problem.
Nationals still need to get home etc so they won’t cancel all flights; this is a job for your travel insurance.

Whilst it's not your fault you can't fly, it's not Ryanair's either. They are providing what you payed for, the flight is going ahead as there will likely be some people who can travel under exemptions etc.

Ryanair are allowing people to move their flight and waiving the flight change fee. However their policy is this must be done at least 7 days before departure. 

This would normally be an insurance claim if you are covered.

Whilst Ryanair are unpopular, you'd be in the same boat with most other airlines.

In these circumstances with BA you could get an FTV or sometimes a refund.

Which is why BA is more expensive.

Not always, particularly on European Fares that include baggage, but perhaps a fair comment overall.
The OP has probably blagged a "throwaway" £9.99 special from Ryanair and is now moaning about it being unavailable to him.
Perhaps he took the Ferry as he has not had the courtesy to respond to answers to his cry for help.

Indeed breaking news !!!
Unfortunately not registered by the succession of posters coming on here having booked with less flexible operators.

To be fair the only time I flew with Ryanair it was because they were the only airline flying to Londonderry from my local airport when I had a meeting there. They served the purpose in that the flights were on time but I didn’t enjoy the flights much. Didn’t particularly like easyJet either if I’m honest.

Genuinely wondered if you’d have anything offer this OP in the way of advice, given that it’s actually a BA Holidays query? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6228314/cancelled-ba-holidays-flight
