    Actually wait until Micky gets the idea of including a CoVid test in the add-ons when trying to book a flight. Flight €0.99, Seat €7.99, Luggage €19.99, Mandatory Swab €299.99, Scratch card €2.....

    Not much good if there are still change fees. I book Aer Lingus all the time now as they waived the fees. That is way more persuasive than cheap seats in the current climate. There are flights I have changed literally 4 or 5 times. Complete flexibility and a great encouragement to book

    Ryanair advertised no change fees a while back, but the exclusions made it very hard to change

    Well those ****ers likely got free money by investing in all the money they got from the public they weren't refunding.

    Of all the countries on our Green List, only Poland admits us without restrictions currently, so its not a great deal of use!

    I changed a flight for free just a few days ago and no charge for change is mentioned throughout their website.

    Book a flight to somewhere and get a free one.

    And not be allowed to fly and have to wait months to get a voucher refund?

    No thanks.

    Has to be 7 days before the takeoff date, learned that the hard way, when our beloved government decided to remove Italy from the green list the day after we were due to fly.

    They improve on refunds, I had a booking canceled, the flight out was for the middle of August with return 1st week of September, the return flight was canceled in the middle of August, I applied for a refund, I was offered a voucher a week later that I declined, I got the refund about 10 days ago, so less than a month from the request to getting the actual refund.

    They'll only refund a cancelled flight though, right?

    If they fly you're out of luck.

    In this time - here is no way I'd book anything with Ryanair.
    Aer Lingus offered me a voucher for my flights in August long no questions, while people I know got zip for Ryanair flights in July and August.

    If I ever book a flight again with Ryanair it will be using PayPal, the credit card companies fooked people over looking for refunds which Ryanair delayed by months, PayPal sided more with the consumer for fast refunds.

    Half price flights. Must fly before the end of the year.

    You have to change a week before, which isn’t much hood when things are so fast moving. You can change Aer Lingus on the day of the flight, as many times as you want, and even change it after you’ve checked in

    For me that is a greater incentive to book than a cheap ticket

    After the battle I had with RA to try get a refund for a flight they cancelled for almost a grand, I'll do all I can going forward to never travel with them again.

    Because chances are the place you visit will be a lot safer and a lot more relaxed than this place.

    Currently only Poland on our Green list will let you in without testing and/or quarantine restrictions.

    Travel between 25th Sept and 14th December. The peak of the incoming 2nd wave.

    Half price (or buy one get one free) means you are just going to lose half the money you would have lost yesterday.

    More like you will actually get to use one flight potentially if booked soon. Then second flight you won't get to use as they know you will space it out towards the end of the year when the wave is most likely to hit.

    There are actually plenty of idiots booking flights to nowhere at the moment - take off and land at the same airport after maybe 4 or 5 hours in the air - just because they miss the experience of flying.



    Fools and their money!

    Some of us can travel without being irresponsible.
    I've be happily travelling to Ireland in coming weeks and months.
    Mandatory tests when returning and possible self-isolation for a highly unlikely positive test are not an issue for me.
    There are huge numbers of people who have been putting off travel and these promotions are bargains for us.
    The biggest problem is that the choice of flights is very much reduced as all carriers have been scaling back services.

    The deal is buy one, get a second for the same flight free - so "bring a friend for free".

    This condition limits the benefits for those wanting more than a few days:

    Promotion only available on Value fares.

    Like where - I would love a holiday but not going to do it when the Covid is still around and everywher I would fancy going would be subject to Covid rules.

    Madness. Going to an airport with all this going on is not my idea of fun

    If you need to travel thats fine but as a leisure traveller that likes city breaks there is no reason for me to go anywhere. Dublin is dead and if thats an indication of other cities then feck it I will stay at home

    I'm sure a lot of destinations would be OK to visit but I would not like to spend any time cooped up in an airplane right now.
