Hi, not really enough info to give any advice.   If you could explain when you booked, who with, where you are going on what date etc.  you may get some helpful information.

Would your travel insurance cover you for refund if you are not wanting to change date?

If the flight is going ahead your options are limited

From a friend who is in a similar bind, I believe Ryanair are sending empty flights out to various destinations to avoid having to refund.

Or it could be because some people need to travel for work, to return home or visit ill relatives?

Your friend's opinion will be skewed, they're far from empty flights and are essential to make sure people can return home etc.

I would imagine some of the "empty" flights are far from it - just that they have no passengers

They may well be carrying mail/freight etc

Ryanair flights are used by people that frequently commute. Not just tourists.

Let's not let sensible replies and logic get in the way of a good 'airlines are all evil for not refunding' rant!
