Refund Voucher Ryanair Question

jediknight49

Hopefully staright forward question. Tried looking for answers on Ryanair but can't find the answer.

I have a refund voucher of £500 which expires in June. I plan to use a majority (£400) of it on new flights but what happens about any balance?
Does any balance need usuing up by the expiry date of mid June or can this be extended or another voucher applied for the balance?

Thanks

If you don’t use all the credit it will remain available for future purchases. I don’t think they will extend the expiry date though.  Vouchers can be used for extras which may be an option if you have no other use for the left over credit.

Ok cheers. Thanks for that.

I did select everything going related to flights, inc check-in, extra leg room, fast pass, meal's and I'm still left with a healthy balance so I'll need to probably look at booking another flight for another time so not to lose the money.

Cheap weekend in Dublin or Eastern Europe is usually a good option. I'm sure you already realise,  but the voucher only has to be spent by June, you'll be able to book any flight on sale which is currently upto the end of October, but I'd expect winter flights to be on sale before your voucher expires.
