Ryanair Flight Change Policy

Overview

Ryanair offers passengers the ability to change their flight bookings, subject to specific terms and conditions. The flight change policy varies based on factors such as the fare type and timing of the change. Below are the key details:

1. Change Fees

• Standard Fare: Changes are permitted with a fee, which varies depending on the route and timing of the change. Promotional fares may have higher fees or more restrictive conditions.
• Flexi Plus: Offers more flexibility with lower or no change fees. Changes can be made up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure.

2. Timeframe for Changes

• Before Departure: Flight changes can be made up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure time. This can be done through the Ryanair website or app.
• After Departure: Once a flight has departed, changes cannot be made. Any changes must be completed before the flight departs.

3. Fare Differences

• If the new flight is more expensive, passengers must pay the fare difference in addition to any applicable change fees.
• If the new flight is cheaper, the fare difference is generally not refunded.

4. How to Change a Booking

• Online: Changes can be made through the "My Bookings" section on the Ryanair website or mobile app.
• Customer Service: Changes can also be processed by contacting Ryanair's customer service, but this may incur additional service fees.

5. Name Changes

Passengers can also change the name on the booking for a fee. This can be done up to 2 hours before the flight's scheduled departure. Name changes must be made for the entire booking, and any fare differences must be paid.

6. Special Circumstances

• Involuntary Changes: If Ryanair changes or cancels a flight, passengers are typically rebooked on an alternative flight at no additional cost, or they may be offered a refund.
• Medical or Emergency Situations: In special cases, such as medical emergencies, Ryanair may waive change fees upon receiving proper documentation.

7. Refunds and Cancellations

Ryanair generally operates a no-refund policy for cancellations, except in cases where Ryanair cancels the flight. Passengers may receive a travel voucher or be rebooked on an alternative flight.

This summary provides a general overview of Ryanair's flight change policy. Passengers should review the specific terms and conditions of their fare at the time of booking or contact Ryanair directly for more detailed information.
