    Nope, Ryanair dont ever giverefunds. They will however let you do a name / date / route change. But they'l charge you - BIG TIME!

    Actually, they do give refunds. The taxes and charges on the flight are refundable

    However, you'll be charged an admin fee for this, which may amount to more than the charges.

    It's not worth the hassle. As Buffybot says, they have to refund your taxes but they charge somewhere in the region of €20-30 to do this.

    You can be as flexible as you like. They will charge you a fee for transferring to different flights plus the difference if the fare is higher.

    If your original fares were low then chances are it would be cheaper for you to just book new flights. Only way to find out is to ring them up but get the price for new flights online first so you can compare.

    Exactly what john said :)

    But you do need to do this before the date of travel, like if you booked your ticket for the 0th Jan you have to do all changes before the 10th, get me?

    Yes they do refund but like the guys said, they charge so much in admin fees that you'd be lucky to get €10 back! There was an article in a paper the other week that said Ryanair make €6m annualy on unclaimed taxes every year for passengers that dont travel!
