    Not going now obviously but would rather go somewhere different later in the year and not go near Italy

    So you're not being "forced" like you claim

    No one has to take a flight to Rome, unless you're Italian, and a medical professional who is actually needed in Italy?

    No what s/he means that in the future, they can't change their flight to another destination.
    I don't understand why you can't get a refund?

    To thine own self be true

    I changed a Ryanair flight to a completely different destination recently.

    As per the terms and conditions of the ticket as sold, no refunds can be given, I got a refund with Easyjet, but Ryanair and others don't do refunds..

    But if the flight has been cancelled, you'll get a refund.

    Just to dispel any fear here.
    I was due to take an Easter flight with Ryanair to the Canaries.
    I got an email today to say that my flight was cancelled.
    I had the option to fill out a very brief and easy form to request a refund or I had the option to get in touch with customer care for a reschedule to the same or another destination.

    I have a trip booked with RA to Bergamo May 2nd till the 9th. Obviously my trip is off. Finally after years got a good deal in Bella Italia. Honestly though my heart is breaking for Italy, family and I have holidayed there 7 times in the last 16 years. I love the country and the people. If I were religious I would pray every day for them.

    Just FYI, back from fuverventura, lucky to get home. Absolute chaos at the airport. Everything in Fuerteventura locked down and i mean everything. Do not book or travel until things cool down. I have never seen airports as stressed as this.

    Have to ask ,why did you go?

    My AirBnB refund came through today - its quite novel to see my credit card statement in the black, and it will et even more when I get my €2K back from RyanAir. Given there is sweet FA to spend money on at home, I expect no angst from Mastercard for the next couple of months :)

    Were these the same people you reported as rioting in the streets last week?
