Rules for Re-route
Alternative Flights
We will first try to accommodate you on the next available flight on the same route. If there are no available flights on the same or next day then we will assess flights from/to other airports within the same country.
If we are unable to re-book you on an alternative flight on the same or next day, then we will review other transport options.
Alternative Transport
In order to assist you in reaching your final destination, we will review comparable transport alternatives. These options include, but are not limited to, train, bus, airline, or car hire.
If you must use the comparable transport options then you may be advised to re-book flights yourself, and then submit your receipts to our customer service department for reimbursement. However, you must contact us prior to arranging alternative transport so we can try and accommodate you first.
Important re-accommodation information
When transferring to a new Ryanair flight, you can check-in through our app and save the boarding pass to your phone or through our website and re-print your boarding pass.
If you can’t access either, we’ll re-issue your boarding pass for free at the airport ticket desk.
If your alternative flight departs the next day and you require hotel accommodation, there are airport staff at the ticket desk who can assist you. You will receive free phone credit valid for 24 hours, check your email for further instructions.
