Flight Schedule Change - Email Request to Accept

    Question.

    Ryanair have changed my flight schedule. Does anyone know what happens if you don't accept the flight change ie don't respond to their email request ?

    The change actually suits me, & I (currently) want to go at the new changed time, but previously with a BA long haul flight, I had a similar request from BA to accept a schedule change, & because I never accepted the change, I was able to get a full refund when we wanted to pull out of the trip at a couple of days notice before the flight date for personal reasons. Had I accepted the change I would certainly have swallowed some losses.

    Isn't 'do nothing' the best approach if you still (currently) want to go ? Gives you that flexibility ?

    Firstly Ryanair are not BA and if the amended flight suits, why not accept it?

    I'd be looking very closely at the terms & conditions. Could be the case that if you don't accept the change within a certain timeframe, they assume you're not happy with it, and proceed to sell your seat to somebody else and refund you what you paid initially. As the poster above points out, just because one airline has a certain policy doesn't mean that they all operate the same.

    As I explained, not accepting a change with BA in the past has given me the flexibility to have the option of cancelling at short notice without any penalty & giving 100% refund, which I eventually did. The BA agent explained to me that had I accepted the change I wouldn't have been entitled to full refund.

    I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of the same thing with Ryanair.
