    6 months for ryanair tho had already received from bank via chargeback. Have spent both monies with equal pleasure tho will be quite happy to refund either if requested. However as this was 3 months ago im of the opinion it wont be but you never know.
    You should have kept the second refund to one side, as inevitably Ryanair will be looking for this back.
    The £92.50 will worry me till the end of time  
     :D  poor Ryanair, deprived of their £92.50...

    Whatever anyone thinks of the particular airline concerned, anyone receiving a "double" refund is receiving money that isn't theirs.  If you booked a £92.50 flight and the airline charged you twice for it you would rightly be peeved and want it resolved.

    I don't like Ryanair, I don't like their operating model or their Chief Executive.

    They are a large part of the reason my national airline has been reduced to 2 aircraft while they've disappeared leaving holes in the route network, claiming the market as not profitable (mainly due to competing with a 100 seat Embraer with something double the size, which they had no chance of filling even with no competition), as they've done to many small national carriers in the past.

    Equally though, you do owe them the £92.50 that you've received twice in error.

    I know that, I'm not condoning stealing, I was just having a little joke...

    Just popped back to let you all know I have now received a cheque in the post from Ryanair. So if anyone is interested, it took roughly 5 months from the date of the cancellation, and about six weeks after they agreed the refund in writing, for me to actually receive the money.

    Thanks for coming back and updating the forum, I'm sure it will help others in a similar situation.  Glad you got your refund sorted.

    I waited just under 2 months between submitting my Customer Verification details to Ryan Air and receiving the cheque. I booked through Last Minute, but was told to claim the flight cost back from Ryan Air... However, I was only told I needed to do this 6 months after my holiday was cancelled.
    Thanks - this sounds very similar to my situation. I shall wait another month before chasing it up.

    Same story. I'll give a chance to them.
    Good luck to us

    I dont owe anybody anything until as such time somebody asks me for something back they were happy to give me. :-)
    One of the best moments on a forum is when the resident righteous persons don their black caps and pronounces judgement on the posting riff raff daring to demean their territory.

    You've requested a refund from 2 different parties for the same amount and therefore incorrectly been refunded twice, so you do owe the money, as had they known you'd been refunded, they wouldn't have refunded you again.

    It would be morally right to inform them of their error so their accounts balance, however it appears you'd rather laugh at someone telling you this than actually take any action. This says more about you than me.

  • I got told they’d refund me after the lockdown back in may 2020. In the end I got sick of waiting and got a chargeback which was immediate. They then sent a message saying they’d refunded me so ended up with two refunds.  So I’ll give them their money back, with the same urgency that they were going to give me mine.
  • We got our refunds within 3 months last summer- make sure to call regularly and follow up. That would be my advice
