How to cancel a Ryanair flight

If you have booked a flight with Ryanair and you want to cancel it, you should know that you have no option to achieve what you set out to do. The Irish airline only allows changes to be made to its flights, but does not contemplate any type of cancellation.

They explain it on their website, where they add that it is not necessary to communicate that you will not be able to travel. Does anyone do that knowing that they will not return the money?

Cancellations no, modifications yes

What you can modify, as long as they are not missing less than 4 hours so that the flight departure time is fulfilled, they are the dates, the schedules, the routes and the names of the travelers. You can do it through the "Manage Booking" section of their website if you have not already invoiced, because in that case you will have to contact them to undo the invoicing.

Unless you travel in a reserved flightYou will not see a single euro of the fees, charges and the flight fee. Of course, you can request in writing that you be reimbursed government fees that you have paid within one month from the date of the flight. This management, of course, is subject to an administrative charge that in some cases may be higher than government fees, so make numbers before moving tokens.

What if they are the ones who cancel it?

What can happen is that a flight is canceled for reasons that have nothing to do with you. In that case, you can request a refund that is processed in seven working days using the payment method selected in the reservation. Another thing is that you want to change the canceled flight for another one, something that is free.

What if the flight schedule changes?

If the flight has not been canceled but Ryanair has modified the Closing hourYou can request a refund of all amounts paid as long as we are talking about a significant modification. How significant? That it leaves more than three hours before or more than three hours after the original time. They always inform about the schedule change through the email addresses provided during the reservation.
