Can I cancel my Ryanair flight?
Once a Ryanair flight is operational, and does not have a delay exceeding 5 hours, then it is not possible to get a refund. All Ryanair flights are changeable but they cannot be cancelled.
You don't need to notify us if you are unable to travel and if you can’t use your outbound flight, you can still use your return flight.
If your flight was cancelled, please visit our flight cancellation page for details on flight changes and refunds.
Schedule change
Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, we may have to change flight timings before scheduled departure. If this happens, we will notify you of the schedule change via e-mail. The change will also be reflected in your trip details under the “My Bookings” section in your myRyanair account.
You will be entitled to a full refund of all amounts you have paid to us in connection with that flight, if:
- we change the scheduled departure time by at least 5 hours;
- this is unacceptable to you; and
- we cannot book you on an alternative flight which is acceptable to you.
Please note that we are not liable for any prepaid expenses directly or indirectly related to the booking affected by the flight time change.
Fees
If the refund amount is less than the applicable administration fee, no refund will be made.
