dane_stone Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi all I’m trying to change flight dates from Manchester to Dublin with ryannair From Thursday-Saturday to Wednesday-Friday. Girlfriend has just been told that she has to go in work on the Saturday. The flights cost £114 for both of us and to change them they want another £171. If I cancel I will loose all the £114. Might sound silly question but does anyone no any get out clause or can recommend anything. I'm really desperate because I can't afford to book more flights and we're going to watch a gig so will have to cancel that too and loose more money. Any help will be very much appreciated Thanks Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm afraid there is not too much you can do. Ryanair is crapiest cheap flight company you can find if it comes about booking change. I found Norwegian airlines best for booking change, they have reasonable prices and because of login feature you can always check all details and change them for small amount of money.

jamesmark Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 With most airlines there is nothing you can do. If you do not like their rules then don't fly seems to be the attitude as they will more than likely fill your seat anyway even at short notice. I found this out with lufthansa when I had to cancel, they basicly said tough and you will lose your money I thien asked to change the date for to use at a later date and for that they wanted more than the price of the first ticket.

Exactly, was watching the TV and had it on one of the Discovery channels and that series 'Airport' came on, I was too far away from the remote to change (lazy sod lol) so I watched a couple of episodes. There was a fair few turning up looking to purchase same day tickets, the charges for same day flights were always into hundreds of pounds.
